♪ o'er the land of the free good morning from the studio 57 newsroom at cbs news headquarters here in new york. good to be with you. i'm anne-marie green. the turkish prime minister says it appears isis was behind the deadly coordinated attack at istanbul's main airport. at least 36 people were killed and more than 140 wounded when three suicide bombers started shooting and then blew themselves up. the victims including some foreigners, but most are turkish. this morning, the airport reopened, following the attacks, security was increased at u.s. airports. istanbul and a turk airport is one of the world with's busiest. the suicide bombers opened fire near check poise at the terminal entrance. tina kraus is in london.

and talking about a country that at one point was stable. what has happened the last year or so? >> reporter: what has happened is the security situation in turkey has deteriorated rapidly. with that deadly sued bombing that you just mentioned, many of them in istanbul, which is turkey's biggest cities, other in ankara, turkey's capital. it seemed to target foreign tourists earlier in the year were blamed on isis by the turkish authorities. however, unlike other bombings carried out by the group, isis had never claimed responsibility. other attacks have been carried out by kurdish separatists, many of another minority who are locked in a long running conflict with the turkish state. now one kurdish militant group came out and said they are not

targeting tourists but can no longer guarantee safety here in turkey. >> certainly turkey has been battling with them for decade now. at this point, which group is a bigger threat to turkish security isis or these kurdish fighters? >> reporter: i think the problem for turkey is that there is conflict all around it, as well as inside it. a cease-fire with those kurdish militants fell apart in the middle of last year, which has unleashed a blood letting on both sides. then also remember that turkey shares a 500 mile long border with syria and we have seen that country deadly civil war fill across that border time and time again. so this bombing is, obviously, very upsetting to everyone here in turkey. but it's most certainly wasn't surprising for many people. >> holly williams in istanbul,
