Saudi Arabia: Terror Attack and News Agency

saudi arabia: Many were from the Middle East, including Jordan, Lebanon and Saudi Arabia, although countries from India to Belgium reported their citizens among the casualties, according to Guelph Mercury. The private Dogan news agency in Turkey said Sunday the dead also included one Canadian. Foreigners accounted for 24, or nearly two-thirds of the attack's victims, Turkey's state-run news agency reported. Close to 70 others were injured in what authorities described as a terror attack. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan vehemently condemned the terror attack in Istanbul's Ortakoy neighbourhood in the first hours of 2017 and offered condolences for those who lost their lives, including foreign guests. Three of the wounded were in critical condition, Turkey's prime minister said. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
