Uh oh. "They're baaaack". According to Fox it's a suicide bomber.
Let's pray for the injured. Get Western citizens and translators out!
UPDATE: One guy live on Fox said he brought a woman to the hospital and she died. He is transporting others who are injured. He also claims that Americans on the "other side of the canal were injured".
Apparently at least three U.S soldiers were also injured. There is a second explosion outside a hotel.
Then a gunfight erupted. All airport gates processing evacuees are now closed and sources describe the incident as a “complex attack”.
