Video surfaces of man believed to be Reina attacker in Istanbul
A state broadcast video shows a man with an unsmiling face strolling Istanbul's Taksim Square in a 44 second clip. It remains unclear when the footage was shot, as police detain several people linked to the mass shooting at Reina nightclub that left 39 dead and nearly 70 injured. Islamic State claimed responsibility, saying a caliphate soldier carried out the attack. Funerals for the dead began across Jordan, Lebanon, Israel, and Turkey. Authorities say at least 14 are detained, including two foreigners at Istanbul's Ataturk Airport, as investigations continue. The reported wife of the suspect denied knowing his ties to IS.
