ISTANBUL (AP) -- A Turkish official says two attackers have blown themselves up at Istanbul's Ataturk airport after police fired at them.
Justice Minister Bekir Bozdag said 31 people were killed in the attack while another senior government official told The Associated Press it could climb much higher.
The senior official at first said close to 50 people had already died, but later said that the figure was expected to rise to close to 50.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity in line with government protocol, said as many as four militants may have been involved in the attack.
Turkey's NTV television earlier quoted Istanbul Governor Vasip Sahin as saying some 60 people were wounded.
