Watch: Istanbul nightclub attacker who killed 39 people captured in police raid.

The gunman suspected of killing 39 people during a New Year’s attack on an Istanbul nightclub has been caught in a police operation, Turkish media reports on Tuesday.

Hundreds of people had gathered at the swanky Reina nightclub to celebrate the New Year when the gunman shot a police officer and a civilian outside the club, then stormed the premises. Most of the dead in the attack were foreign nationals, from the Middle East.

According to Turkish media, the suspect identified as Abdulkadir Masharipov, an Uzbekistan national was captured in a special operations police raid on a house in Istanbul’s Esenyurt district, private NTV television reported, adding that he had been staying in the house belonging to a friend from Kyrgyzstan.

The Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for the nightclub massacre, saying the attack in the first hours of Jan. 1 was in reprisal for Turkish military operations in northern Syria. The man identified as the suspect had been on the run since the attack.

The first image of the bruised attacker showed him in a grey, bloodied shirt being held by his neck. Private NTV said he had resisted arrest. His Kyrgyz friend and three women from Somalia, Senegal and Egypt were also detained in the raid, while his 4-year-old child, who was with him at the home, was taken into protective custody. Hurriyet newspaper said the alleged gunman’s wife and 1-year old daughter were caught in a police operation on Jan. 12.

Police established his whereabouts four or five days ago, but delayed the raid so they could monitor his movements and contacts. The suspects were being taken to Istanbul’s main police headquarters for questioning.

College Marching Band criticised for participating at Trump’s inauguration receives over $570k donation from Trump supporters.

Last week, Alabama college, Talladega College’s band, The Great Tornado, announced on Twitter that they would participate in President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration and needed $75,000 to go to DC to perform. Twitter went haywire with the announcement. A lot of people called them coons, threatened them with death and cursed them for wanting to perform for Donald Trump.


The Coach of the band and his family were threatened with death and all kinds of evil things ,but that didn't deter the coach and the band members.
The historically black college, which was started by two former slaves in 1865, is officially headed to the nation’s capital, thanks to funds raised through a GoFundMe page by mainly Trump supporters.

As news broke that Talladega would participate in the Trump inauguration, a stiff debate ensued – from alumni of other historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs), band directors and even at Talladega College – expressing strong disappointment about Talladega’s participation, and seeming support for Trump, whose history with African-Americans and minorities hasn't been very good.

The Trump inauguration team excitedly shared the news on their twitter page.

The school president Billy C. Hawkins on Thursday night in an appearance on Fox News’ on the 'The O’Reilly Factor' told host Bill O'Reilly:

“It’s about the students having an opportunity to participate on this national stage, in this inaugural ceremony,”. “It’s a civic ceremony. It’s not about politics.”

Before Hawkins’ appearance on The O’Reilly Factor, the band had raised only $57,000 for travel and lodging after the show, the school has raised over $570,000.

HBCU band directors' comment about Talladega’s participation was:

“What we do as HBCUs is very special,” said Nathan Haymer, Southern University’s director of bands. “Bands are very special and our craft is special. When Talladega performs, they’re not only representing their school and state, they’re representing HBCUs as a whole. I hope it works out because it’s a reflection on all of us.”

The school president added:

“I get that folks are upset,” Hawkins said, “and I feel for those who feel the way they do. But I feel for our students. They want to go. I feel I have to be responsible to the student body. It’s about this band wanting to be part of this event. We are representing the state of Alabama. It’s about the experience. It’s about a peaceful transition of power. We’re confident we made the right decision. God did not put us in this position just to leave us at this point.”

Trump supporters also shared the GoFundMe page asking others to donate to the fund.

The Great Tornado – under the direction of Miguel Bonds – will be in Washington, D.C., for Trump’s Jan. 20 inauguration celebrations in three days.

"Irresponsible and malicious" The Gambia govt reacts to African Union resolution.

The government of The Gambia has reacted to the African Union Peace and Security Council Resolution on the Islamic Republic of The Gambia on the current political situation of the country. Following the meeting in Addis Ababa on January 13th, African Union's Peace and Security Council announced it will no longer recognize Yahya Jammeh as president of Gambia after January 19, the intended date for the inauguration of president-elect, Adama Barrow.
The council also warned of "serious consequences in the event that his action causes any crisis that could lead to political disorder, humanitarian and human rights disaster, including loss of innocent lives and destruction of properties."
In a statement release on Sunday evening, the Gambian government described the African Union’s resolution as irresponsible and malicious meant to annoy and aggravate the political situation in The Gambia.

“We condemned it in the strongest possible terms,"  the statement read.

Below is the full text:

"The Government of the Islamic Republic of The Gambia has noted with concern the resolution by the AU Peace and Security Council stating inter Alia that the Government of The Islamic Republic of The Gambia will no longer be recognised after the 19th January 2017. This resolution is irresponsible and malicious and only meant to annoy and aggravate the political situation in The Gambia and we condemn it in the strongest possible terms. 

The AU Peace and Security Council does not have the mandate to bar member states and governments from The African Union. Any such resolution has to be approved by the authority of the heads of State of the African Union. 

This resolution has not been approved and the resolution is therefore non-binding and of no effect
