Terror in Turkey 36 killed in suicide bomber attack

Three suicide bombers launched a 'major, co-ordinated' attack at Istanbul's Ataturk Airport last night, spraying bullets into crowds of terrified passengers and security personnel before blowing themselves up, injuring more than 147 people and killing at least 36.

Eyewitnesses described the moment a hero policeman shot down one of the suicide bombers before he was able to detonate his explosives, giving holidaymakers a chance to escape and saving countless lives.

In shocking footage that captured the moment, the gunman can be seen running through the international arrivals terminal before falling to the ground - apparently felled by a police bullet - and sending his AK-47 skidding across the floor.

Hackers hijack UK referendum protest petition asking for a re-vote

The full extent of how hackers managed to hijack the petition demanding a second EU referendum can be revealed by MailOnline.  

Hackers boasted about their exploits in online forums and openly mocked how easy it was to infiltrate the UK Parliament petition website.

The petition has attracted more than 3.7million signatures and has led high profile figures to use the petition as proof of the public appetite for a re-run of last week's referendum, which was won by the Brexit campaign by more than 1.2million votes.

Computer bots were able to use scripts that automatically signed up hundreds of thousands of fake signatures by using the same UK postcode - many of which were the Palace of Westminster's SW1A 0AA address.

They deliberately directed their names to appear as residents of a range of different countries, including tiny states such as Vatican City to 'show your democracies are a joke'.

It meant more than 42,000 signatures were registered in the Vatican City, despite the tiny papal state having a population of just 840.  

There were more signatures registered from the least populous country of Pitcairn Island than the 56 residents living there. 

There were even 24,867 signatures registered in North Korea, where the internet is highly censored and accessed by a tiny minority of the population. 

Thousands were signed up from other tiny states, including Palau, the British Virgin Islands, Liechtenstein, British Virgin Islands, Liechenstein and St Kitts and Nevis - as well as the disputed Occupied Palestinian Territories.
