ISTANBUL -- Twin attacks by a suicide bomber and a car bomber near an Istanbul soccer stadium Saturday night killed 29 people and wounded 166 others in the latest large-scale assault to traumatize a nation confronting an array of security threats.The bombs targeted police officers, killing 27 of them along with two civilians, Turkeys Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu told reporters early Sunday. He added that 10 people had been arrested in connection with the terrorist attack.The civilian death toll was lower because fans had already left the newly built Vodafone Arena Stadium after the soccer match when the blasts occurred. Witnesses also heard gunfire after the explosions.We have once again witnessed tonight in Istanbul the ugly face of terror which tramples on every value and decency, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said in a statement.The first bomb went off just outside the facility known popularly as Besiktas Stadium after the local team and neighborhood. The second blast that came moments later was attributed by authorities to a suicide bomber.Police cordoned off the area as smoke rose from behind the stadium and ambulances began ferrying the wounded to hospitals. Glass from the blown-out windows of nearby buildings littered the pavement.There was no immediate claim of responsibility. This year, Istanbul has witnessed a spate of attacks attributed by authorities to the Islamic State group or claimed by Kurdish militants. A state of emergency is in force following a failed July 15 coup attempt.Soylu acknowledged the country was struggling against many elements trying to compromise its fight against terrorism.Turkey is a partner in the U.S.-led coalition against the Islamic State and its armed forces are active in neighboring Syria and Iraq. It is also facing a renewed conflict with an outlawed Kurdish movement in the southeast.Ned Price, a spokesman for the White House National Security Council, said Washington condemns the attack in the strongest terms.We stand together with Turkey, our NATO Ally, against all terrorists who threaten Turkey, the United States, and global peace and stability, Price said in a statement.A taxi driver at the site of the Istanbul bombings said their force made him hit his head on the taximeter and that his ears were still ringing from the blasts and screaming that followed.Amid the screams I heard an officer saying `do not shout! Do not make them (the perpetrators) be satisfied, said Ismail Coskun.The first and larger explosion took place about 7:30 p.m. GMT after the home team Besiktas beat visitor Bursaspor 2-1 in the Turkish Super League. Erdogan said the timing of the attack aimed to maximize the loss of life and vowed the nation would overcome terrorism.Soylu said the first explosion was caused by a passing vehicle that detonated in an area where police special forces were located at the stadium exit right after the match. A riot police bus appears to have been the target.Kurdish militants often target security forces while Islamic State-linked attacks have targeted tourists and the broader public.Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus said a person who had been stopped in the nearby Macka Park committed suicide by triggering explosives.Investigators, including Istanbul Police Chief Mustafa Caliskan, were quickly on the scene. Forensic experts in white uniforms scoured the vicinity of the stadium and the vast park where the suicide bombing took place.The Besiktas sports club strongly condemned the attack and said an employee of one of its stores was among the fatalities, as well as a member of its congress who was also responsible for security at the stadium.Bursaspor reported that none of the wounded were fans and issued a statement wishing a speedy recovery to our wounded citizens.Health Minister Recep Akdag said six of the wounded remained in intensive care, with three of them in critical condition.Aleksander Ceferin, president of European soccers governing body UEFA, and European Union Enlargement Commissioner Johannes Hahn, also made statements condemning the attack.Violence has no place in a democratic society, Hahn wrote on Twitter.EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini expressed the blocs solidarity with Turkish citizensThe U.S. Consulate General in Istanbul, meanwhile, urged its citizens to avoid the area which is also home to a Ritz Carlton hotel.Turkeys radio and television board issued a temporary coverage ban citing national security concerns. It said to avoid broadcasts that can result in public fear, panic or chaos, or that will serve the aims of terrorist organizations.---Cinar Kiper, Ayse Wieting and Mehmet Guzel in Istanbul contributed reporting. Rob Harris in London also contributed reporting.---This story has been corrected to say that it was official who cited health ministry officials not interior minister.

VAL DISERE, France -- Ilka Stuhecs stunning start to the World Cup ski season is a family affair.After winning the downhill in Val dIsere on Saturday -- her third downhill win and fourth victory overall -- she praised the person who looks after her skis.Its my mum, Stuhec said. Shes preparing my skis, which she does the best.Stuhec planned to make a couple of calls before getting some rest, as she prepares for a super-G here on Sunday.I will just call my sister and my dad and that will be it, she said. Then I will just turn off my phone, otherwise it will go crazy again.Race winners in the French Alpine resort are traditionally offered a cow, which they get to name.Stuhec will name her cow Isa (pronounced Isha).My dogs name, Stuhec explained. We had to euthanize (the dog) one week ago. Thats why Im crying now.Before this year, Stuhecs best World Cup finish was fourth in a super-G in 2013.Over the summer, frustrated by insufficient support from the Slovenian ski federation, she took matters into her own hands.I needed to make a huge step and make my own team, she said. It was really hard at the beginning. We did get some support from the federation, but for sure I hoped for more.She sensed her fortunes were turning for the better just before her breakthrough weekend in Lake Louise this month, when she won both downhill races and placed fifth in a super-G.I had this weird feeling, like `Its time, she said. I felt really confident. Its working, I guess.It certainly is.Stuhecs latest success followed her win on Friday in an Alpine combined. She was up to third in the overall World Cup standings.On the Oreiller-Killy course bathed in morning sunshine, Stuhec finished .28 seconds ahead of Austrian Cornelia Huetter and .32 clear of Italian Soffia Goggia, who iss also enjoying a breakthrough season.ddddddddddddGoggia also had a career best of fourth before this season, and now has six podiums in eight races. She was also third on Friday, and strengthened her grip on second in the overall, 31 points behind American slalom specialist Mikaela Shiffrin.Everyone asks me about the overall, but actually its not my goal, Goggia said. Maybe when I was a child and I was dreaming about having this crystal globe in my hands.Still, Goggia is confident that she can turn her podium finishes into wins.I still havent found my limit yet on the downhill, she said. I have more to give.Three Italians, including two sisters, completed the top six: Nadia Fanchini was fourth, then Johanna Schnarf and Elena FanchiniBut the day belonged to Stuhec as she accelerated away on the bottom section to beat Huetter, who has 10 career podiums.After crossing the line, Stuhec put her hands over her face and then sank onto her back, shaking her head in disbelief.It was a surprise for me. Coming down and seeing the No. 1 (on the screen), Stuhec said. I thought Id made too many mistakes.Meanwhile, defending World Cup overall champion Lara Gut of Switzerland failed to finish for the second straight race, skiing off course after losing balance on the top section.There are days when you feel well and you ski well, and there are some when you just cannot bring it all together, said Gut, who explained that a bump on the course led to her mishap. Thats how it goes.Gut came here with a great chance of overtaking Shiffrin, but remains 105 points behind and has dropped down to fourth overall.She needs to score big points on Sunday. ' ' '
