  • Story Text:Distraught relatives of some of the 116 people wounded in two blasts in Istanbul waited outside a hospital in the city on Sunday (December 11).
    Turkey said on Sunday that Kurdish militants may be responsible for the two bombs that killed 38 people and wounded 155 on Saturday evening (December 10) in an apparent coordinated attack on police outside a soccer stadium in Istanbul after a match between two top teams.
    The blasts on Saturday (December 10) night - a car bomb outside the Vodafone Arena home to Istanbul's Besiktas soccer team followed by a suicide bomb attack in an adjacent park less than a minute later - shook a soccer-mad nation still trying to recover from a series of deadly bombing this year in cities including Istanbul and the capital Ankara.
