This can't possibly be true. There have been no offensive videos inciting this extemporaneous violence.

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) -- 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.

yep its true
but one good thing about the turks and when we worked with them....they take no prisoners and will do enormous efforts to find the guilty parties, then execute them promptly

bomber made it to the first xray or "Stop" station so he never made into the embassy building.
i bet its in response to us helping turkey with the Syria issue

There was an earlier report that the electricity was out and so the security cameras were inoperative. It was not clear whether the electricity was out in the surrounding buildings or just the embassy.

I've been there before and it's in a busy part of the city.
