At least two people were killed and seven wounded in a suicide bombing in a major shopping and tourist district in central Istanbul on Saturday, CNN Turk reported. The explosion was in Istiklal Street, a wide boulevard closed to traffic that is lined with international stores and shopping centers. A Reuters witness in the area saw police helicopters circling overhead and television footage showed people running from the area. A car bomb tore through the capital Ankara earlier this month, killing 37 people. http://english.ahram.org.eg/News/193335.aspx
