#2 Wonder if there was supposed to be Russian politicians or delegations somewhere in the terminal at that time. Maybe something more than just creating a mass casualty incident. Usually you don't see mid to high level Chechens resorting to general mayhem unless there was an ulterior plan for something.

I understand that they didn't get too far into the building before being intercepted by security. It could have been a lot worse.

#6 Could they be trying to bring about an Islamic state in Turkey? Not the moderate kind the throat slitting kind.

#7 I thought "Recip" had some kind of business arrangement with ISIS, with regard to oil, refugees, etc. I wonder if some change or termination of arrangements made ISIS pi$$ed. Just an idea.
