These are the three ISIS suicide bombers bombers pictured entering Istanbul Ataturk Airport before they slaughtered 43 people and injured 240.

The jihadis who used suicide bomb vests and high velocity AK-47s and Glock pistols to carry out their attack are understood to be from Russia, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan.

All three are understood to have Russian passports in their possession.

The Turkish prime minister had previously linked the attack to ISIS - although the terror group is yet to claim any responsibility.

Sources have also revealed it's feared a second cell is about to attack imminently.

Neighbours have revealed the trio "spoke to no one" during their stay but were often heard arguing loudly.

Security officials believe the three men are part of a cell who trained with ISIS in Raqqa within the last year.

Investigators combing the apartment for evidence found the men had installed a metal door on the inside of their front door.

One of the men, dressed in a red T-shirt, has been named as Osman Vadinov, a Russian national.

Security officials are hunting a fourth member of the gang who is believed to be on the loose.

Police found notebooks and "manuals" near to the apartment which had been dumped by the gang.

The three men took a taxi to Istanbul's Ataturk airport, the third largest in Europe, before engaging their bloody assault.
