BBC were talking to a terrorist expert from Turkey today. He was advising great caution to anyone considering a trip there. Turkey has suffered a wave of attacks over the last year...so I can say now , this would not be a place I would be keen to visit....

Breaking news. Isis are claiming responsibility for the attack...

I thought they might be behind it 😞

Suspected as much, though the gunman may have been acting independently. Once they have shown support for ISIS then of course they will claim to be behind any atrocities.
