A Middle East Airlines plane carrying the bodies of three Lebanese killed in Istanbul's nightclub massacre and five of the wounded arrived on Monday evening at Beirut's Rafik Hariri International Airport, the National News Agency (NNA) reported.
Lebanon's Prime Minister Saad Hariri, representing President Michel Aoun and Speaker Nabih Berri, offered condolences to the families of the victims at the airport.
"Terrorism has no religion. It targets us all. It targets the good people who love life and who want to live. This is why we will fight it with our strongest asset, which is our national unity," the prime minister said.
At least 39 people, the majority of them foreigners, were killed and around 70 others were wounded when a gunman went on a rampage at Istanbul's luxurious Reina nightclub where revelers were celebrating New Year's Eve.
