At least 13 killed, 20 injured in the attack two hours after a football match at Besiktas Vodafone arena.
Two explosions have hit the Turkish city of Istanbul, killing at least 13 people and wounding 20 others, according to news reports.
Police have evacuated the area around the Besiktas football arena following Saturday's explosions, which the interior ministry called a "terrorist" car bomb attack.
