World: Europe

Galatasaray/Juventus match postponed because of security worries


TO FOLLOW ITALY TURKEY OCALAN.

European football's governing body, UEFA, has postponed Wednesday's European Champions' League match between Galatasaray of Turkey and Juventus of Italy until December 2, because of increasing tension between the two countries.

Juventus officials and players said they were reluctant to travel to Istanbul for the match because of security worries.

Relations between the two have deteriorated following the arrest in Italy of the Kurdish rebel leader, Abdullah Ocalan.
