Memorial service held for Ontario woman killed in Istanbul terror attack
MISSISSAUGA, Ont. — A cousin of the Ontario woman killed in the New Year’s Eve terrorist attack in Turkey says his family feels empty without her.
Ammar Abdul-Raheem spoke outside the memorial service of Alaa Al-Muhandis Sunday, who was one of 39 people killed when a gunman opened fire at an Istanbul nightclub during New Year’s Eve celebrations.
Abdul-Raheem said his cousin, a 29-year-old mother of two, always tried to be there for her loved ones.
He said she loved art, fashion, and everything that sparkles.
