One detonated his explosive-packed vest at the entrance, and another threw a grenade into the baggage-screening room. A third attacker was fired on in the arrivals court, which appears to have detonated his suicide vest, while a gunman rampaged through the marble halls, spraying bullets until he reached his destination, the gym.
