                  Suicide Blast in Istanbul Kills 4, Wounds 20

   by VOA News

   Turkish media say a suicide bomb blast in Istanbul has killed four
   people and wounded 20 others, including three in serious condition.

   Officials say the Saturday explosion happened on Istiklal Street, a
   wide boulevard usually full of shoppers and pedestrians at this time of
   the week.

   Turkey is already on high alert after recent bombings in the capital,
   Ankara, claimed by Kurdish rebels, and in the lead-up to the Kurdish
   spring celebrations Monday.
