![]() A blast outside the US embassy in the Turkish capital, Ankara, has killed at least two people, with reports that it was a suicide bomber. Turkish media said the bomber and at least one security guard had died in the explosion. Dozens of ambulances and fire engines rushed to the embassy, in an area also home to other diplomatic missions. Video appears to show damage to a checkpoint although reports say there was no damage inside the embassy. No group has so far said it carried out the attack. A number of illegal groups ranging from Kurdish separatists to leftist and Islamist militants have launched attacks in recent years in Turkey, which is a member of Nato. The last big attack in Ankara in 2007, which killed nine and injured 120, was blamed by police investigators on a lone, leftist suicide bomber. Following Friday's explosion, an AP journalist saw at least one woman who appeared to be seriously injured being carried into an ambulance. The US embassy building is heavily protected. The German and French embassies are close by. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-21293598 |

ANKARA, Turkey — In the second deadly assault on a U.S. diplomatic post in five months, a suicide bomber struck the American Embassy in Ankara on Friday, killing a Turkish security guard in what the White House described as a terrorist attack. Washington immediately warned Americans to stay away from all U.S. diplomatic facilities in Turkey and to be wary in large crowds. Turkish officials said the bombing was linked to leftist domestic militants. The attack drew condemnation from Turkey, the U.S., Britain and other nations and officials from both Turkey and the U.S. pledged to work together to fight terrorism. "We strongly condemn what was a suicide attack against our embassy in Ankara, which took place at the embassy's outer security perimeter," said White House spokesman Jay Carney. "A suicide bombing on the perimeter of an embassy is by definition an act of terror," he said. "It is a terrorist attack." Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said police believe the bomber was connected to a domestic leftist militant group. Carney, however, said the motive for the attack and who was behind it was not known. A Turkish TV journalist was seriously wounded in the 1:15 p.m. blast in the Turkish capital, and two other guards had lighter wounds, officials said. The state-run Anadolu Agency identified the bomber as Ecevit Sanli. It said the 40-year-old Turkish man was a member of the outlawed Revolutionary People's Liberation Party-Front, or DHKP-C, which has claimed responsibility for assassinations and bombings since the 1970s. read the rest http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/01/us-embassy-turkey-suicide-bombing_n_2597384.html |
