Blast at U.S. embassy in Turkey kills at least one

[Glorbo]

[quote][b](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.[/b]

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.[/quote]

Of all places to expect an embassy attack, Ankara was not one, was this guy some lone wolf or anything deeper? Also source.

Isn't there some Anti-American sentiment among Turks? I've heard that's the case.

Please, correct me if I'm wrong.

The Interior Ministry says it was an outlawed leftist Lennin-Marxist group.

Also: [quote]The dead police officer was identified as Bülent Özkan. It was learned that Özkan was preparing for his wedding, which was scheduled to take place five days after the incident. [/quote]

I greatly apologize for making a joke of this, but I couldn't help but read and reread this quote from the article.

Can't help but laugh.. Not only did the suicide bomber fail, he also killed one of his kind. I really laugh out loud when I hear these incidents.

The bomber was from the [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolutionary_People's_Liberation_Party%E2%80%93Front[/url] A Marxist-Leninist terrorist party.

It wasn't an Islamic attack, just anti-America.
