Death Toll in Istanbul Blasts Rises to 29, Number of Victims Reaches 166
01:38 GMT 11.12.2016 (Updated: 20:45 GMT 19.10.2022) Some 29 people, including 27 police officers, have been killed and 166 other injured in a car bomb and a suicide bombing that shook Istanbul on December 10, the country's Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu announced.
Soylu announced that ten suspects in the deadly attacks have been taken into custody.
Earlier authorities reported about 15 deaths and 38 injuries.
10 December 2016, 23:20 GMT
Two massive explosions
rocked Turkey's largest city after a football match at Vodafone arena. The target was a van full of police leaving the stadium after having provided security, Soylu said.
Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Nurman Kurtulmus said the attack comprised a car bomb outside the stadium in the city's Besiktas district, followed 45 seconds later by a suicide bomber nearby.
Soylu called the attacks "a cruel plot" and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said in a statement after tragedy that it had been designed to "maximize" casualties.
