International Travellers confirmed among dead in Instabul's Ataturk Airport Attack as Death Toll Rises to 36 People

Turkish officials have established that there were international passengers among those who lost their lives in the terror attack on Istanbul's Ataturk airport. According to AFP, an official said the death toll consisted of 23 Turkish and 13 foreign nationals, including one Iranian and one Ukrainian.

The death toll for Tuesday's attack on the airport stands at 36 with almost 150 people with varying degrees of injuries. Three suicide bombers carried out what appears to be a coordinated attack, opening fire with automatic weapons before detonating their suicide vest and blowing themselves up.

  Scores of anxious friends and relatives waited early Wednesday outside Istanbul's Bakirkoy Hospital, where victims were taken.
