    The Kurdish Liberation Hawks (TAK) organization said, Sunday, that it was behind Saturday night's attack on an Istanbul soccer stadium in which 38 people - most of them police - were murdered and 155 wounded.

    In a statement on the TAK website, the group said two of its "fighters" were killed in the blasts and that the Turkish people were not their direct target.
