We were still sending out planes with barely anyone on them.

Thank god it's outside the perimeter.  Looking for more info, but I doubt they'd be able to maneuver a vehicle that close to a gate so hopefully it was just a small bomb and not a VBIED.

Reports I’m hearing suggest a complex attack with a bombing (suicide or other) followed by others opening fire

I can't imagine how awful and terrifying it's been guarding that airport knowing this was coming. Every video I've seen of the soldiers you could see it in their faces. Terrible. Heard children were also killed including an infant.
