A mass shooting occurred at a nightclub in the Beşiktaş district of Istanbul, Turkey, on 1 January 2017. The attack occurred at about 01:15 FET (UTC+3) at the Reina nightclub in Ortaköy, where hundreds of people were celebrating the New Year. At least 39 people were killed and at least 70 were injured in the incident.

Background

Since the summer, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) has been under pressure and forced to notable territorial losts due to 3 concurrent offensives: the Turkish-FSA Western al-Bab offensive and Battle of al-Bab, the Kurdish Northern Raqqa offensive , and the Iraqi Battle of Mosul in Iraq. The Turkish military intervention in Syria has been the first frontal opposition between ISIL and the Turkish army, heating up tensions.

The attack came during a period of heightened security measures in the city, with 17,000 police officers on duty,[1] following several terrorist attacks over recent months.[2] The incident followed an attack on the Istanbul Atatürk Airport on 28 June 2016 which killed 48 people, and a bombing at the Vodafone Arena on 10 December 2016 which killed 44.[2]

According to Reina's owner, security measures at the nightclub had been increased over the previous ten days after American intelligence officials warned about an attack over the holidays.[3] The US embassy later denied that it had prior intelligence, dismissing such claims as "rumours on social media".[4][5]

A gunman opened fire in the nightclub at about 01:15. He reportedly carried an AK-47 rifle and, after killing a police officer and a bystander at the entrance, he entered it shooting.[6][7][8] The attacker reportedly spoke Arabic as the attack was taking place,[9] and shouted the Arabic phrase "Allāhu akbar" during the attack.[10][11][12] He reportedly fired more than 180 rounds during the seven minute attack before going to the kitchen, changing his clothes and escaping by blending in with the crowd.[13]

Although initial eyewitness testimonies reported by the Turkish media described up to three attackers, the police insist that they are only on the lookout for one. Police stormed the building,[14][15] but Turkish authorities state that the attacker is still at large, with a manhunt underway.[16] Authorities had earlier claimed that one gunman entered the nightclub and was later killed by the police.[15] The attacker left the weapon at the scene.[16]

At the time of the attack, about 600 people[3] were at the nightclub to celebrate the New Year.[17] Thirty-nine people were killed, including a police officer on duty at the club entrance.[11] At least 70 others were injured.[18] A number of people jumped into the waters of the Bosphorus strait to escape the attack.[19] In the aftermath, police set up a cordon around the nightclub.[20]

Aftermath

Istanbul's governor Vasip Şahin said the incident was a terrorist attack.[21] The Turkish government ordered a temporary media blackout, citing concerns over security and public order.[2]

In response to the attack, the Turkish military carried out attacks against ISIL targets in the Syrian town of al-Bab. 22 people are claimed to have been killed in the raids.[22]

Perpetrator

According to Turkish Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu, a single gunman carried out the attack and is currently at large.[23]

Amaq News Agency, the unofficial media apparatus of ISIL, released a statement claiming the attacker was a soldier of ISIL who had "struck one of the most famous nightclubs where the Christians celebrate their apostate holiday".[24][25] ISIL also took the unusual step of claiming responsibility directly, saying in a statement that the attack was carried out "in continuation of the blessed operations that the Islamic State is conducting against Turkey, the protector of the cross",[26] and accused Turkey of killing Muslims via "air strikes and mortar attacks" in Syria.[27] The statement did not specify whether the attack was directly organized by ISIL, or whether the group had merely inspired the gunman.[26]

On 2 January, Turkish police arrested eight people in connection with the attack; the gunman was not among them.[28] Police said they believed the attack was carried out by the same ISIL cell that targeted Atatürk Airport in June 2016.[22]

Identification

A day after the attack occurred, Turkish media stated that Turkish authorities believe the attacker is from Uzbekistan or Kyrgyzstan.[29] Initial reports had suggested that he was from Xinjiang.[30][31] On 2 January, Turkish police released an image of the man believed to be the perpetrator.[13] and on January 3, Turkish media played a selfie video of the alleged gunman at Taksim Square, Istanbul. No details about the attacker or how this footage was obtained have been released. Overall, 16 individuals have been held under suspicion in connection to the attack.[32]

On 3 January, it was alleged that the man accused of the attack was from Kyrgyzstan.[33] Iakhe Mashrapov was named as the suspect by the Turkish police.[34] He has denied the accusation and that Turkish authorities had released him saying it had been a case of mistaken identity.[35]

Victims

Among the victims were people from 17 countries, including Bollywood film producer Abis Rizvi, producer of the film Roar: Tigers of the Sundarbans.[36]

Reactions

National

Governor Şahin of Istanbul described the attack as a "violent and cruel act of terror"[14] and said that the attacker had used a "long-range weapon" to "brutally and savagely" fire on people, referring to a type of assault rifle.[59]

The President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdoğan condemned the attack and offered condolences on behalf of those who lost their lives, including victims from other countries.[60]

International

Many world leaders and officials condemned the attack, offering condolences.[60][61]

The President-elect of the United States, Donald J. Trump, linked the terror attack to his calls for a wall on the Mexico–United States border, stating that "We're going to have strong borders so that when people come into the country, they're going to come into the country legally ... We will build a wall. And speaking of walls, so in Turkey tonight ... Big disaster took place in Turkey tonight. Many, many, many people killed. A whole big deal over there. It's a horror show".[62][63][64][65]
