Another terrorist attack in Turkey
- Two Indians died in a New Year’s eve terror strike at a night club in Istanbul, Turkey, that claimed 39 lives. External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj made the announcement on Twitter.
- The Rizvis are well-known businessmen in Mumbai with interests in real estate, education and entertainment. Turkish police launched a massive manhunt for the gunman who went on the rampage at the nightclub.
- The assailant shot dead a policeman and a civilian at the club entrance and then turned his gun on partygoers.
Sectarian violence in Myanmar
- Myanmar said it has detained several police officers over a video shot by a fellow police- man that shows them beating Rohingya civilians, a rare admission of abuse against the Muslim minority.
- Tens of thousands of people from the persecuted ethnic group — loathed by many of Myanmar’s Buddhist majority — have fled a military operation in Rakhine State, launched after attacks on police posts in October.
- The refugees’ stories have raised global alarm and galvanised protests against Myanmar’s de facto leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, who has been accused of not doing enough to help the Rohingya.
- The footage shows police hitting a young boy around the head as he walks to where dozens of villagers are lined up in rows seated on the ground, hands behind their heads.
