The Reina Nightclub Attack and the Islamic State Threat to Turkey / [Recurso electrónico] PDF .-- Recurso online
The Reina nightclub attack in Istanbul on New Year’s
Eve made clear the immense scale of the Islamic State
threat to Turkey. Investigations have shed new light on
the group’s command and control over sleeper operatives
in Turkey and the large network of clandestine cells
and logistical and financial support elements it has set
up to sustain terrorist activity. Turkish government
complacency has allowed the threat to grow, as have
purges of experienced counterterrorism professionals,
including those after last year’s failed coup. As the
Islamic State shows signs of crumbling in Syria and
Iraq, Turkey now faces a nightmare scenario of a
mass influx of Islamic State fighters into its territory
