ISTANBUL (AP) – The Latest on the bomb and gun attack that killed 44 people at Istanbul’s Ataturk Airport (all times local):

5:10 p.m.

Turkish media say authorities have determined the identities of two of three suicide bombers responsible for the Ataturk Airport attack that killed 44 people this week in Istanbul.

The state-run Anadolu Agency reported Friday that the Bakirkoy Public Prosecutor’s office had established the identity of two suspects in the course of investigations. The investigation into the third suspect’s identity is ongoing.

The identity of one suspect was determined through a photocopy of his passport, which he submitted to a realtor in order to rent a house in Istanbul’s Fatih district. In addition, a computer that had been destroyed was been found in a trash bin near the apartment where the suicide bombers were staying. The police are trying to access the information on the computer.
