ISTANBUL (AP) Turkish authorities have postponed a soccer match between two major Istanbul teams, citing an unspecified threat.
The Istanbul governor's office said Sunday's Galatasaray-Fenerbahce derby was canceled following ''the assessment of serious intelligence.''
The decision came a day after an Islamic State group-linked suicide bomber killed himself and four foreign tourists on Istanbul's main pedestrian street.
