group: The IS-linked Aamaq News Agency said the attack was carried by a heroic soldier of the caliphate who attacked the most famous nightclub where Christians were celebrating their pagan feast, according to Hamilton Spectator. It said the man opened fire from an automatic rifle in revenge for God's religion and in response to the orders of ISIL leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. Turkish police meanwhile detained eight people in connection to the attack but were still hunting for the gunman who disappeared amid the chaos of the attack. The group described Turkey as the servant of the cross and also suggested it was in retaliation for Turkish military offensives against the Islamic State group in Syria and Iraq. Turkey's state-run Anadolu Agency said eight people were taken into custody by Istanbul anti-terrorism squads and they are being questioned at Istanbul's main police headquarters. We let infidel Turkey know that the blood of Muslims that is being shed by its airstrikes and artillery shelling will turn into fire on its territories, the statement said.
