There were thousands of people in the international arrivals zone, after two planes arrived from London. Eyewitnesses say the suicide bomber shouted "I'll Kill You All", before detonating a device packed with shrapnel, screws and ball bearings.
Local media reports say the blast was equivalent to 5-10 kilos of TNT.
No one has claimed responsibility for the attack. Investigators trying to identify the bomber, have reportedly found the severed head of a man aged around 30 to 35.
