Grim selfie video said to show suspect in Turkey killings
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleTurkish state media airs new footage on Tuesday of a man believed to be the Islamic State gunman who killed 39 people at a nightclub, showing a grim selfie video of the suspect as he circles Istanbul’s most famous square.
The camera never leaves the man’s unsmiling face as he walks through Taksim square, one of Istanbul’s prime tourist spots, during the 44-second video broadcast Tuesday on state-run Anadolu television and other media.
It wasn’t immediately clear if it was filmed before or after the New Year’s massacre at the Reina nightclub, or how the footage was obtained.
The gunman is still at large. Authorities haven’t publicly identified him, and police denied that Kyrgyz passport information circulating in Turkish media belonged to the gunman.
