Two detained over Fenerbahce bus attack

Turkish police have detained two people suspected to be involved in an attack on the Fenerbahce team’s bus.

The bus driver was taken to hospital after being wounded in the incident which took place as the team were travelling to Trabzon before flying back to Istanbul. This was after their 5-1 away win against Caykur Rizespor.

The two suspects, one of them 38 years old and the other 27, were detained early on Tuesday, Trabzon governor Abdil Celil Oz said.

Oz said the attackers had fired two shots at the bus with a rifle that left no player unhurt.

The Turkish Super League has been suspended for a week in the wake of the attack.

Second-placed Fenerbahce are two points behind rivals Galatasaray with eight games left as the race to the title gets fiercer.
