Turkey gives IS member life in prison for 2017 New Year’s terror attack
[IsraelTimes] Albulkadir Masharipov convicted of carrying out nightclub shooting that killed 39, including 1 Israeli.

A Ottoman Turkish court on Monday sentenced an Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
member to life in prison over the New Year’s Eve terrorist attack on a nightclub in Istanbul that left 39 people dead in 2017.

Albulkadir Masharipov of Uzbekistan was charged with membership in a terror group, murder, and attempting to overthrow the constitutional order, among other charges.

The court in Istanbul sentenced him to 40 separate life sentences.

Early on January 1, an assailant shot his way into Istanbul’s Reina nightclub where hundreds were partying to celebrate the New Year. The assailant beat feet from the scene and the Islamic State group later claimed the massacre.

Seventy-nine people were maimed. Several revelers jumped into the waters of the Bosporus to escape the attack.

Among those shot to death were 27 foreigners including citizens from Leb
...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
, Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
, Israel, Iraq, and Morocco.

Lian Zaher Nasser, 19, from Tira in central Israel was one of those killed in the club, where she was celebrating the New Year with friends. One of her friends, another Tira resident, was injured in the attack.
