Suicide Bomber Strikes US Embassy in Ankara

A suicide bomber struck outside the US embassy in Ankara, Turkey, on Friday.

A Turkish security guard, was killed in the blast, and two more guards and a journalist were injured.

Washington was quick to describe it as a terrorist attack.

Turkish authorities believe that the bombing was the work of a "domestic leftist terrorist group", but stopped short of signaling out a specific group.

However, state run TV blamed it on the Revolutionary People’s Liberation Party Front.

No one has claimed responsibility for the attack.

State Department officials are crediting the embassy's security with keeping the bomber, outside of the building.
