iStock/Thinkstock(ISTANBUL) — The Kurdish militant group TAK has claimed respnsibility for Saturday’s deadly attack on police outside a stadium in Istanbul, BBC News reports.
The two explosions left at least 38 people dead and many others injured.
The blasts happened about two hours after a match between top Turkish soccer teams Besiktas and Bursapor, according to BBC.
The U.S. embassy in Ankara, Turkey, condemned the attack on Twitter.
“Our hearts and prayers are with the people of #Istanbul tonight,” said one tweet Saturday.
“We condemn tonight’s cowardly attack, and salute the courage of the Turkish people as we stand with them against terror,” the embassy said in another tweet.
