Istanbul nightclub blast kills at least 39

A gunman opened in fire in a packed nightclub in Turkey as people were celebrating the new year, killing at least 39 people and injuring 69. The gunman, who still remains at large, carried out the attack at Reina nightclub in the Besiktas neighborhood of Istanbul. Sixteen of the people killed were foreigners, the Foreign Ministry said. No terror group has claimed responsibility for the mass shooting, which comes as the fourth terror attack in Turkey in the past several weeks. "A manhunt for the terrorist is under way. Police have launched operations. We hope the attacker will be captured soon," Suleyman Soylu told reporters.
