2017 Begins With Terror at an Istanbul Night Club; 39 Shot Dead

The year 2017 began right where 2016 left off.

A man dressed in a Santa suit opened fire at a nightclub in Istanbul, Turkey killing 39 people and wounding 70. Many of the slaughtered are foreign nationals. No doubt the gunman targeted this club for that reason. All of which makes me think this is an ISIS operation rather than the Kurds. The attack is reminiscent of the ones at the Bataclan in Paris in November 2015 and in Orlando in June 2016. ISIS operatives were involved in both attacks. In 2016, there were 20 terrorist attacks in Turkey most of which involved ISIS.

The gunman is still at large as of this writing.
