« on: December 31, 2016, 23:48:20 PM »

    Reports coming in of a shooting attack in the Reina Nightclub in Ortakoy, Istanbul by gunmen wearing Santa outfits

Very sad and so bad now for tourism.  In the past year visitors on T.A. have been told that the terrorists only attack the Police the Army and Government Buildings.   This was an attack on people just enjoying the New Year in a Night Club.
A lot of people are now going to think twice about visiting Istanbul and Turkey in general.

I think they got a bit carried away. He wasn't due to trip down the police station stairs until tonight.
