At least 13 people were killed in Istanbul on Saturday night when a bomb ripped through a crowd in the heart of Istanbul, authorities said.

The bomb, apparently targeting police, exploded outside the stadium of Istanbul football club Besikstas following its match against Bursaspor. 

"Nearly 20 people are wounded," Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu said soon after the blast. "The wounded are police officers."
