Interesting article in the Al-Monitor which suggests there may have been up to seven terrorists involved in this atrocity:

However, Al-Monitor spoke with security sources who claimed on condition of anonymity that seven people had been involved. Roughly 10 minutes after their arrival, they split into two groups and moved toward the security checkpoint at the terminal entrance. One of the attackers shouted in Turkish, “There is a bomb. It is going to explode," triggering panic among the large crowd waiting for the security checks. Then the attackers started firing randomly with their automatic rifles.

One of the terrorists has been identified. Apparently he is a Chechen, linked to ISIS, and had been in Raqqa before coming to Turkey.
An image from a surveillance camera showing three terrorists is in the newspapers.
There might have been more people involved but apparently these three shared a taxi.

The Al-Monitor article is suggesting that there were two taxis of terrorists.  But its all speculation by the media at this time, no matter how "well connected" you claim your source to be.

Saying that, the fact one is now identified as a Chechen who came via Raqqa does give their story a little bit more credence.

Interesting Dutchie. So it really could have been Isis this time.
Can I ask where you're getting such detailed info?
