metropolitan center nor country unused torsi, unfortunately, su an incident. matt bradley has been following the story for us. over to you, matt. richard, we don t have much to add, but i can direct viewers to look at the scenes in front of them. this is the worst nightmare of what we ve been seeing in europe the past several years. in the run-up to this, and istanbul of course is part of europe police and authorities were so worried about an attack coming at this time. we don t know who did it. there s been no claim of responsibility, but islamic state had been urging its followers to launch attacks against soft targets exactly like this one. they even released a video a couple weeks ago describing how to use the holidays as a means to launch attacks especially
