bis Rizvi, the Producer of Bollywood movie 'Roar' & Khushi Shah from Gujarat are the 2 who lost their lives in Istanbul Terror Attack. Bollywood is mourning the death of their producer.
Terror group ISIS has claimed responsibility for the deadly New Year's attack that left at least 39 dead. "In continuation of the blessed operations which ISIS carries out against Turkey, a soldier of the brave caliphate attacked one of the most popular nightclubs while Christians were celebrating their holiday," a statement posted to Twitter reads.
The victims hailed from 14 countries, according to Turkey's semi-official news agency Anadolu, including India, Morocco, Jordan, Canada, Russia, Tunisia, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
The suspected shooter, who stormed the Reina nightclub soon after the clock struck midnight, appears to have evaded the tight security that blanketed Turkey's largest city over the New Year. Yet, authorities are confident that they will apprehend him soon. (Source: Cnn.com)
