"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."

An explosion at the entrance of the U.S. Embassy in the Turkish capital on Friday left at least two people dead, a police official said.



An Associated Press journalist saw a body in the street in front of an embassy side entrance. The bomb appeared to have exploded inside the security checkpoint at the entrance of the visa section of the embassy.



Several ambulances were dispatched to the area. An AP journalist saw at least one woman who appeared to be seriously injured being carried into an ambulance.



Private NTV television said two security guards at the entrance were killed.



The police official spoke on condition of anonymity in line with government rules. The phones were not being answered at the embassy.



The embassy building is heavily protected. It is near an area where several other embassies, including that of Germany and France, are located. Police sealed off the area and journalists were being kept away.

The place is built like a fortress the terrorists probably have killed innocent civilians or only themselves.
I hope the US Government finds whomever is responsible and brings them to justice.

A suicide bomber blew himself up at an entrance to the U.S. Embassy compound in Ankara, Turkey, on Friday, officials said.

Turkish interior ministry officials said the bomber and one other person were killed in the attack at about 1:15 p.m. local time (6:15 a.m. ET).

The bomber got to the first X-ray machine leading to the visa section, police sources said, and then detonated the device. In the immediate aftermath of the attack, the sources had said three people were thought to have been killed.

U.S. Ambassador Francis Ricciardione told reporters that the person who was killed was a guard at the gate, The Associated Press reported. He added that a Turkish citizen was wounded.

Turkish television footage taken shortly after the attack showed smoke rising from the area and a heavily damaged door that led to a side street.

Turkish Interior Minister Muammer Guler told reporters that the bomber belonged to an illegal leftist group, Reuters reported. He said the attacker could have been a member of the militant Revolutionary People's Liberation Party-Front or another leftist group.
