A suicide blast ripped through a major shopping district in Istanbul on Saturday, killing at least four people less than a week after another deadly attack left 35 dead in Ankara.

Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu vowed that the investigation would identify those responsible while the US condemned a "vicious attack".
