ISTANBUL -- Twin attacks by a suicide bomber and a car bomber near an Istanbul soccer stadium Saturday night killed 29 people and wounded 166 others in the latest large-scale assault to traumatize a nation confronting an array of security threats.The bombs targeted police officers, killing 27 of them along with two civilians, Turkeys Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu told reporters early Sunday. He added that 10 people had been arrested in connection with the terrorist attack.The civilian death toll was lower because fans had already left the newly built Vodafone Arena Stadium after the soccer match when the blasts occurred. Witnesses also heard gunfire after the explosions.We have once again witnessed tonight in Istanbul the ugly face of terror which tramples on every value and decency, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said in a statement.The first bomb went off just outside the facility known popularly as Besiktas Stadium after the local team and neighborhood. The second blast that came moments later was attributed by authorities to a suicide bomber.Police cordoned off the area as smoke rose from behind the stadium and ambulances began ferrying the wounded to hospitals. Glass from the blown-out windows of nearby buildings littered the pavement.There was no immediate claim of responsibility.

Do not make them (the perpetrators) be satisfied, said Ismail Coskun.The first and larger explosion took place about 7:30 p.m. GMT after the home team Besiktas beat visitor Bursaspor 2-1 in the Turkish Super League.
