World needs to stand united against terrorism: Celebs rally against Istanbul attack
Mumbai: As Istanbul struggles to cope with a deadly terror attack on its airport, several celebrities have urged the people to "stay strong". They have tweeted prayers and solidarity, adding that the world needs to stand united against terrorism.
The attack on Europe's third-busiest airport is one of the deadliest in a series of suicide bombings in Turkey, which is struggling to contain the spillover from neighbouring Syria's civil war and battling an insurgency by Kurdish militants in its southeast.

One attacker opened fire in the departures hall with an automatic rifle, sending passengers diving for cover and trying to flee, before all three blew themselves up in or around the arrivals hall a floor below, witnesses and officials said.
