A suicide bombing rocked a major shopping street in Istanbul on Saturday, killing five people and wounding 36 others just six days after a deadly attack in Ankara, Turkish authorities said.

The attack took place on Istiklal Caddesi, a pedestrian street that was relatively quiet Saturday morning but is usually thronged with shoppers, strollers and buskers later in the day.
