Istanbul Besiktas: Stadium blasts kill at least 13 people - reports - BBC News

13 dead apparently

 

[Mr.Bishie]

Mostly plod by all accounts. Kurds will get the blame regardless

29 dead 166 injured says the Guardian. Dont think "mostly plod".

Was just talking earlier this evening before I saw this with a friend, about deciding not to go to Istanbul back when this happened before in March. Thoughts going out to the poor folks affected by this and my mates in Istambul. Really awful.

Seems more like IS but I suppose the Kurds have form too.

The Kurdish militant group TAK says it carried out Saturday's deadly attack on police outside a stadium in Istanbul.

The TAK, an offshoot of the banned Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), made the claim on its website.

39 dead and it sadly has become unshocking. Right next to my previous work place, which is closed for the next two days.
