1 Dead, 4 Hurt in Attack on Beach Clubs in Turkey's Bodrum
2017-07-31
[AnNahar] A Ottoman Turkish teenager was killed and four other people maimed Sunday when a gunman opened fire on two beach clubs in the upscale Aegean resort of Bodrum in western The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
, reports said.

The gunman in the early hours of Sunday shot indiscriminately 26 times around two nightclubs on the seafront in the popular resort, the Hurriyet daily said.

Assistant waiter Furkan Say, 18, later died of his wounds in hospital. Two other waiters were maimed as well as one customer. Also hurt was the wife of Ottoman Turkish TV personality Jess Molho, Zeynep, who was present at the club, it said.

There was no information on the identity or motive of the gunman and Hurriyet said police were seeking to catch the perpetrator.

Security has been heightened at nightclubs in Turkey after an Uzbek gunman went on the rampage at an Istanbul club on January 1, killing 39 people, most of them foreigners.

That attack was later claimed by Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(IS) jihadists. However there was no indication from the authorities of any holy warrior link in the Bodrum incident.
