FENERBAHCE SAYS IT won’t play in the league until those responsible for an attack on its team bus are caught, while soccer authorities reacted to the incident by suspending Super League matches for a week.
The bus was shot at Saturday in northern Turkey on the team’s return to the airport from a 5-1 win against Black Sea side Caykur Rizespor. The driver was hit in the face and hospitalized. He is in a stable condition.
Fenerbahce officials said the attack was carried out with a shotgun.
Fenerbahce vice president Deniz Tolga Aytore said Monday the attack was a “terror” act that could have killed players and club officials.
Aytore said: “To play ball isn’t all that important when the lives (of players) are concerned.”
