 NATO flags flown half-staff in memory of victims of Istanbul attack

The flags on the NATO headquarters building in Brussels are flown at half-mast to honor the victims of the recent deadly attack in a nightclub in Istanbul, NATO spokeswoman Oana Lungescu said.

 "All flags at NATO HQ at half-mast. Solidarity w/ Turkey after the New Year Istanbul terror attack," Lungescu wrote on her Twitter page. 

At least 39 people were killed, including more than 20 foreigners, and 65 injured as a result of the attack on Istanbul's Reina nightclub during New Year's Eve celebrations. The attacker is said to have opened fire from a Kalashnikov assault rifle. The manhunt is underway.
