Nine of the ten people killed were German tourists. “The bomber who carried out the attack in Istanbul’s Sultanahmet district was a 28-year-old Syrian national.” Here’s a great idea: let’s bring hundreds of thousands of Syrian nationals to Europe and the U.S., without any way to determine if any of them are jihadis. “10 dead, […]
