Turkey must prepare for ongoing violence in 2017



Just after the stroke of midnight in an Istanbul club two gunman opened fire starting the year of with violence, this could suggest more ongoing violence in 2017 to come.

Bombings and shootings happen almost a daily occurrence in Turkey, Turkish troops are fighting on two fronts in Syria. Last year, IS killed 45 and wounded many more in an attack on one of Istanbul's airport, there are many more examples of attacks from IS in Turkey and Recently have conducted suicide and gun attacks inside Turkey. A coup last year against the Turkish president, shook the security establishment to its core. Thousands of officers were arrested for being involved in the coup as a result of this incident. These domestic dramas have left Turkey even more vulnerable to terror attacks

I chose this story as it is shocking to see the ongoing Threat of IS inside Turkey, and the fact that the year was started by terror attacks in Istanbul makes it worse.
