Recent bombings are the work of ISIS. Right now it is too early to say, but Erdogan partnered with ISIS. He is reaping what he sown. A car bomb targeting riot police was the cause of an explosion outside Besiktas Stadium on Saturday night, local news station NTV reported.
Turkey: explosion at Istanbul football stadium causes multiple casualties
The Guardian, December 10, 2016:
The blast took place hours after a match between two of Turkey’s top teams with at least 20 people wounded
A car bomb outside a football stadium in central Istanbul wounded at least 20 people, including a number of police officers, hours after the end of a match between two of Turkey’s top teams, the interior minister, Süleyman Soylu, has said.
Armed police sealed off streets around the Vodafone Arena, home to the Beşiktaş football team, a Reuters witness said. TV footage showed what appeared to be the wreckage of a burned-out car and two separate fires on the road outside the stadium.
Soylu, speaking in parliament during a budget hearing, said about 20 people had been wounded and that initial indications were that the blast was caused by a car bomb targeting a riot police bus.
