ISTANBUL (Reuters) - One of the attackers in a multiple suicide bombing at Istanbul's main international airport on Tuesday "randomly opened fire" as he walked through the terminal building, shortly before three explosions, an eyewitness told Reuters.

"We came right to international departures and saw the man randomly shooting. He was just firing at anyone coming in front of him. He was wearing all black. His face was not masked. I was 50 metres away from him," said Paul Roos, 77, a South African tourist on his way back to Cape Town with his wife.
