(Reuters) - An explosion at a side entrance to the U.S. embassy in the Turkish capital Ankara killed at least one person on Friday in what some Turkish media said may have been an attack by a suicide bomber.

A Reuters witness saw one wounded person being lifted into an ambulance as police cordoned off the area following the explosion, which sent smoke and debris flying into the street.

Television footage showed a door blown out and masonry from the wall around it scattered in front of the entrance, although there did not appear to be any more significant structural damage.

It is interesting that this attack happened after the news of Israeli attack on Syrian soil.

Also, as another news; there are news at newspapers today the son-in-law of Bin Laden is arrested at Ankara with help/intelligence of USA.

News says the bombing happened while a middle-aged person was passing electronic detection device at the enterance (inside embasy). two people dead, three critical wounded.

How long do you think it takes to plan an attack like this?

Do U think that Ankara Embassy blast can be Mossad work?

No, quite opposite.

And Guys, DHKP-C is not leftist, it is communist organisation like PKK and TKPLM.

Edit: the picture of suicide bomber released by his terrorist organisation:

Looks like the Government reactivated their kontrgerilla turkish Gladio Network to prepear a war with syria. I bet they will make up some sort of PKK-Syrian Baath Party Connection to roll into Syria and maybee the iranian mountains.

Source please? As a Turkish citizen I am unaware about this development.

No. Leftwing is socialists; like German Democrat Socialists, or Turkish CHP, or Swedish ones. Leftists and Communists are different.

Obama already called it an act of terror. So we should be alright.

I hope you realize there is a big difference in the importance of an ambassador compared to a security guard (doesn't matter what nationality the security guard is FYI)

Just a quick update: http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/sui...&NewsCatID=341

Looks like the suicide bomber was a member of the DHKP/C - a far-left terrorist group.

This man lives twenty years too late - the age of Communist terrorism is long over.

You might want to let FARC and the PKK know that

[athanaric]

Or it could have been someone else entirely. Never underestimate the idiocy of socialist ideologues though.

You might want to let FARC and the PKK know that

Or the "Anti"fa, the pathetic imitator of the above organizations.

Lets be honest neither two actually stress their Communism ideology too much anymore; damned even Nepal Maoists happily embrace capitalism by opening their former mountain track to tourism.

Doesn't mean this isn't shades of the 80s Red Army Fractktion.

Why is an ambassador more important?

You can send a new one to replace him, just like you can replace a security guard : )))

Or are they higher level and have more hit points and mana?

Well then I guess presidents are not important. I guess we can just lose senators like no cares right?

Because ambassadors are representatives of your nation, not some random security guard trying to make a living. They have years of training and experience in their field.
