Turkish Police Release Information About Suicide Bombers as Death Toll Rises


The three suicide bombers who attacked Istanbul airport were a Russian, an Uzbek and a Kyrgyz, a senior Turkish official said Thursday, hours after police carried out sweeping raids across the city looking for ISIS suspects. Tuesday’s gunfire and suicide bombing attack at Ataturk Airport killed 43 people and wounded more than 230 others.
The day opened with police conducting raids on 16 locations in Istanbul, rounding up 13 people suspected of having links to ISIS, the most likely perpetrator of the attack at one of the world’s busiest airports. The manhunt spanned three neighbourhoods on the city’s Asian and European sides.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity in line with government regulations, did not name the attackers.
