A militant group known as the Kurdistan Freedom Falcons, or TAK, has claimed responsibility for the deadly attack on police outside a stadium in Istanbul.

At least 38 people died near the arena when a car bomb hit a police vehicle and a suicide bomber blew himself up nearby after a football match.

BBC World News reporter Seref Isler told Greg Dyett it's the latest in a series of bombings in Turkey.
