Turkish PM denies club shooter dressed as Santa
Prime Minister Binali Yildirim
Ankara - Arab Today
Turkey's prime minister has denied news reports claiming the gunman who killed 39 people inside an Istanbul nightclub during New Year's celebrations wore a Santa Claus outfit, the ABC News reported.
Prime Minister Binali Yildirim told reporters Sunday: "There is no truth to this. He is an armed terrorist as we know it."
The prime minister also said after visiting the wounded in a hospital that the assailant attacked security personnel outside the club before shooting randomly inside.
Yildirim said the attacker left a gun inside the venue and escaped by "taking advantage of the chaos" that ensued.
He said three of the wounded remain in critical condition.
The prime minister is vowing to keep fighting terror organizations, but notes that, "The terror that happens here today may happen in another country in the world tomorrow."
