Bomb Blast Outside US Embassy In Turkey!! by homesteady(m): 1:25pm On Feb 01, 2013
A blast outside the US embassy in the
Turkish capital, Ankara, has killed at least
one person, with reports that it was a
suicide bomber.
Dozens of ambulances and fire engines
rushed to the scene after the explosion, in
an area which is home to diplomatic
missions.
According to Turkish broadcaster NTV, the
explosion caused no damage inside the
embassy itself.
There were no reports of any group saying
it had carried out the attack.
The AP news agency quoted police as saying
two people had been killed in a suicide
attack and NTV said two security guards at
the entrance had died.
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.
