Turkish officials confirmed there were international passengers among those killed 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 wounded. Three suicide bombers carried out what appears to be a coordinated attack, opening fire with automatic weapons before blowing themselves up.
Dozens of anxious friends and relatives waited early Wednesday outside Istanbul's Bakirkoy Hospital, where victims were taken.
