Turkey have been using the Syria War to rage its own campaign against the Kurds. The attacker is said to have spoken Arabic, so a Syrian assailant is a possibility.
The Turks have also been playing IS as well. Both helping them and attacking them. So there may be some payback from that.
A year ago, Turkey shot down a Russian jet, so relations soured. The Russians aren't one to quietly forget.
And the possibility of a black op by Erdogan's own security services cannot be ruled out. The attack will let the Government further clampdown, arrest, and lock up the opposition. As with the coup, it is all very convenient and therfore suspicious.

Half the posts in the News section are traps to set people up of both sides of the political fence - let he who is without sin cast the first stone; or something like that.
TBH you could substitute the word Turkey in Gromit's for many countries but geopolitically turkey are right in th firing line so's to speak. Simply this was another terrorist attack just like all the rest in recent months, there just more immediacy to the bigger issues in Turkey than possibly the UK

// Security in Turkish cities had been heightened for New Year’s Eve, with 17,000 police officers, including some camouflaged as Santa Claus, on duty in Istanbul, according to the state-run Anadolu news agency. //
// Officials said at least one gunman reportedly wearing a Santa costume murdered a police officer and a civilian outside Istanbul’s famed Reina nightclub before bursting inside. //

I'm not sure what they mean by 'claimed responsibility'- I think they mean the killer was inspired by IS rather than the killing was planned by IS.
It's possible their 'heroic soldier' killed more Muslims than non-Muslims based on this breakdown of victims.
Victims by nationality:
Turkey: 11
Saudi Arabia: 7
Iraq: 4
Lebanon: 3
Jordan, India, Morocco: two nationals from each country
Syria, Israel, France, Tunisia, Belgium, Kuwait, Canada, Russia: one national from each country
I suppose though the main desire of IS is to cause fear and they don't care who actually dies

That means the perpetrator was working on behalf of IS. I don’t think they often directly organise specific actions, but they’re full of ideas like driving lorries into crowded areas. And no, they don’t care who they kill because they know that 'good' Muslims are happy to die for the cause. Still, at least the ‘complexity’ of the Kurdish problem that is alleged to ‘confuse’ people who just want to see an explanation with the word ‘Muslim’ in it has been settled. It wasn’t them.
