"Turks target troublemakers
Turkish police are being proactive ahead of the big European final, says Gareth Jenkins in Istanbul
THE TURKISH police have confirmed they will be in contact with Scotland Yard to co-ordinate security and identify known troublemakers in the run-up to the final in Istanbul. They have, however, played down fears of a repeat of the violence of April 2000, when two Leeds fans were killed and more than a dozen injured after clashing with Turkish supporters on the eve of a Uefa Cup tie with Galatasaray. They noted that there was no history of animosity between Liverpool and Turkish fans and said that, as no Turkish team was involved in the final, they did not expect any confrontations. "
