After the attack at an Istanbul Airport, the country faces an ominous 2017 with more bad things to come as the attack was quickly followed by a series of unfortunate events in a nightclub attack. The country is currently the target of not just one terrorist faction and this would greatly threaten the country's economic presence as well as tourism.

In a recent report from CNN, a number of suspects have been held under the local authority's custody after the investigation with the attack on Reina Nightclub. The terror attack caused the lives of no less than 30 people.

The authorities still have no clue with the alleged criminals' identities and they are still trailing the clues on tracking the responsible for the attack, which also wounded numerous civilians. However, in the recent turn of events, a decisive clue to the attacker's whereabouts came in with a selfie video that surfaced online.

As the authorities link up clues, the suspect's involvement with an ISIS-supporting group apparently narrowed down their search. To add to this, ISIS is also claiming the responsibility of pulling the attack off, but CNN was not able to verify the accuracy nor the group's involvement.

Before the incident, a related news about a Turkish designer named Barbaros Sansal getting attacked in an Istanbul airport came out. This was regarding him, allegedly spreading hate on social media, ending up with him behind bars after getting attacked by the mob (via BBC.)

The airport's security, which Mr. Sansal was attacked by what seems to be a group of people that went unnoticed, became a viral video over Facebook, Twitter, and several social media sites. Some also came to a conclusion regarding the attack being an organized one.

However, Sansal ended up being the one put behind bars despite being, what appeared to be, the victim after more than a dozen people teamed up on him at the airport. He was accused of being a "traitor" when he posted a video on his Twitter account regarding the country's ignorance of the situation while celebrating the New Year.
