A man identified only by the initials as K.M. was subjected to an attempted lynching in Istanbul's Pendik district after a crowd thought he resembled an alleged Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) militant who conducted a New Year's attack on the famous Reina nightclub on Jan. 1, killing 39 and wounding 65 others. 

A dead body of a Syrian man was found on a rocky shore of Turkey's resort town of Bodrum, thought to be one of the thousands of migrants who set sail in the Aegean Sea in order to reach Europe for a better life. 

At least six people have drowned after a boat carrying migrants to a Greek island sank in the Aegean Sea on April 6, Turkish officials have said.

Nine people were also rescued, the governor of the southwestern province of Mu?la, Amir Çiçek, told the Anadolu Agency.

The migrants, believed to be Syrians and Iraqis, were heading to Greece illegally.
