Authorities did not provide any other information on E.U.

On Oct. 19, 2015, the Ankara Prosecutor’s Office, the prosecutor’s office heading the investigation into the deadly blasts, had identified the other suicide bomber in the Ankara twin blasts as Yunus Emre Alagöz, a jihadist from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).

Identified by DNA tests, Alagöz is the brother of another ISIL militant, Şeyh Abdurrahman Alagöz, the perpetrator of the Suruç bombing that killed 33 activists and wounded more than 100 in late July in the southeastern province of Şanlıurfa.
