there in turkey. they are seven hours ahead of the east coast. a very different scene from 12 hours ago. we begin with abc adrian. >> reporter: it's the fifth major attack in turkey's largest city in the past month. gunfire and explosions rocking the istanbul airport's international terminal in what appears to be surveillance video that landed online, a fire bail on the screen as one of the attackers detonates himself. another suicide bomber ran outside. the injured being rushed to area hospitals in ambulances, vans, and taxis. >> people were shooting on one side. we all ran the other way, and then the bombs went off. and people were running the other way and there was more shooting. we came out, and after that i think there's another

erupted at about 10:00 p.m., a busy time for one of the middle east most popular travel hubs. officials say the attackers arrived by taxi then opened fire with assault rifles. detonating suicide belts. >> a lot of people are talking. i didn't see, but i heard it. one bomb, i think in the arrival area. i think two is departure area. >> reporter: inside the arptirp confusion, people looking for cover. some holding children, others on their phones. back in march terrorists linked to isis launched deadly assaults at the brussels airport and a metro station. dozens died. we learned all three of the attackers were detected by police before entering the main part of the terminal which is good. there could have been more lives lost as a result of this terror attack. >> all right. thank you, adrian. >> aid remember, not even two

warning american travelers of this thing. what's being said about that? >> reporter: the concern is they were seeing evidence that tourists were being targeted. certain people of different religions being targeted while they were traveling in istanbul. the justice department responding today saying that they cleared all flights not only going to istanbul but coming here from istanbul, saying there was no threat. increased security. the department of homeland security saying there would be more security at major airports in both seen and unseen ways. >> quite understandably. adrian joining us. thank you. for more, we want to turn to our consultant and former counterterrorism official for the fbi. steve gomez joining us. good morning. what we've seen from the surveillance video, the coordinated attack seems to be the hallmark of one

>> all the hall marks of isis. these guys came in strong. they were armed with firearms. they had explosive belts they were prepared to use right away. as we saw once the shooting started, they immediately started to explode those devices. >> and, stieveve, the u.s. stat department issued a warning that sounded like they were warning against this very thing the day before. should we be optimistic they're noting red flags or pessimistic that more wasn't done? >> for americans looking to travel to turkey, such an advisory is a good warning and heads up for them knowing that there's a potential vulnerability there in istanbul. i know that there's an issue with the border going between syria and turkey and that's a big concern. the fact that there could be isis fighters that are coming into turkey that could commit this type of attack, and that's what we see today.

your colleagues still in the counterterrorism business with the fourth of july holiday coming up a few days away, and a record number of people expected to travel over the weekend, is there a reason to be concerned at home? >> absolutely. the problem i have with this attack is that it happened before the screening area in the airport. and usually once you get up to that screening area, nobody is checking you out unless they -- some law enforcement personnel sees somebody acting suspicious. it's vulnerable. nobody has been checked. once you go through the screening everybody has been checked. the security officials have to look at that now. what do they have to do as people are coming into the airport? there are a lot of people there, a lot of taxis, cars, and so on. that's what the terrorists are looking for. >> and, steve, flights originally to istanbul from the u.s. were

are there any precautions that need to go into effect immediately here and there, you think? >> well, the fbi and the other government agencies here in the u.s. are going to be looking at all the intelligence that was occurring prior to this attack. all the chatter, so to speak, and they'll try to determine were there signs that this attack was on the horizon and if there are other attacks that are potentially going to occur whether it's also in turkey, someplace in europe, and here in the u.s. so that's what's the analysis is going to be doing right now with regards to the threats that are out there from isis. >> all right. that's steve gomez. we appreciate you taking the time to talk to us. thank you, steve. immediately after the attack, flights were stopped from the u.s. and us stan. the stop has been lifted. >> there were 10 flights from
