Two people, including the bomber, were killed and six others injured in a suicide attack on a major shopping street in Istanbul on Saturday, Turkey's CNN-Turk television reported. The attack took place on Istiklal Caddesi, a pedestrian street usually thronged with shoppers and strollers on the weekend. Turkey, which has been rocked by five major bombings since July, had been on high alert for further attacks ahead of Kurdish New Year celebrations on Monday.
