Here is how things stand as we wrap up on Wednesday
afternoon:
Three gunmen attacked Istanbul's Ataturk airport,
the biggest in Turkey, on Tuesday evening and
detonated explosives when police shot at them
The death toll has risen to 41, of whom most were
Turkish nationals - 13 foreigners also died
239 people were injured and nearly half of
them have already left hospital
Investigators are examining CCTV footage and
mobile phone videos to piece together what one
official called a "jigsaw puzzle"
Nobody has claimed the attack yet
Turkey's prime minister says early indications are
that the so-called Islamic State group is responsible
- they've criticised the Turkish government for
allying with the US-led coalition against them
The US government, Pope Francis, the head of
Nato and the Belgian prime minister were among
those to condemn the attack
Russia's President Putin offered condolences to
Turkey's President Erdogan this morning, the first
time they've spoken since Turkey shot a Russian
military jet in November.
