"Two dead in suicide bombing at US Embassy in Turkey" by Suzan Fraser | Associated Press, February 01, 2013
ANKARA, Turkey — A suspected suicide bomber detonated an explosive device at the entrance of the U.S. Embassy in the Turkish capital on Friday, killing himself and one other person, officials said.
U.S. Ambassador Francis Ricciardione told reporters that a guard at the gate was killed in the 1:15 p.m. blast, and a Turkish citizen was wounded.
The bomb appeared to have exploded inside the security checkpoint at the side entrance of the embassy, but did not do damage inside the embassy itself. Footage showed that the door had been blown off its hinges and debris littered the ground and across the road. An Associated Press journalist saw a body in the street in front of an embassy side entrance.
Police swarmed the area and several ambulances were dispatched. An AP journalist saw one woman who appeared to be seriously injured being carried into an ambulance.
The police official, who spoke on condition of anonymity in line with government rules, said police had examined security cameras around the embassy and had identified two people who could have been the suicide bomber.
The embassy building is heavily protected. It is near an area where several other embassies are located, including that of Germany and France. Police sealed off the area and journalists were being kept away.
The phones were not being answered at the embassy. In a statement, it thanked Turkey for ‘‘its solidarity and outrage over the incident.’’
There was no claim of responsibility, but Kurdish rebels and Islamic militants are active in Turkey. Kurdish rebels, who are fighting for autonomy in the Kurdish-dominated southeast, have dramatically stepped up attacks in Turkey over the last year.
Is it PEJAK, or is that P.J.A.K.?! Either way I suppose they are part of Plan B, which means western intelligence agency operatives.
Is it PEJAK, or is that P.J.A.K.?! Either way I suppose they are part of Plan B, which means western intelligence agency operatives.
As well, homegrown Islamic militants tied to al-Qaida have carried out suicide bombings in Istanbul.
Btw, who is "Al-CIA-Duh?" What do you mean they were made up, and created for the courtroom!?

So now you know when the intelligence operation known as a paper cites a past event it is a false flag of their own handiwork.
In 2008, an attack blamed on al-Qaida-affiliated militants outside the U.S. Consulate in Istanbul left three assailants and three policemen dead.
So this latest event was a repeat?
So this latest event was a repeat?
Turkey has become a harsh critic of the regime in Syria, where a vicious civil war has left at least 60,000 people dead. The first of six Patriot missile batteries being deployed to Turkey to protect against attack from Syria was declared operational and placed under NATO command on Saturday and others were expected to be operational in the coming days.

"Attack at US Embassy kills Turkish guard; Bomber appears to have panicked at checkpoint" by Tim Arango and Sebnem Arsu | New York Times, February 02, 2013
ISTANBUL — A man approached a visitor’s gate at the US Embassy in the Turkish capital, Ankara, Friday afternoon and detonated an explosives-packed vest, killing himself and a Turkish security guard, blowing a gaping hole in the wall, and raising new fears about the protection of US diplomats serving in this region.
Oh, this is about bol$tering $ecurity!
Within hours Turkish authorities blamed the attack on a homegrown Marxist organization, and Friday evening Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the issue had ‘‘pretty much been clarified’’ because the bomber had been identified, by a skin mark on his head, as a former prisoner once incarcerated for domestic terrorism. Erdogan said DNA testing was underway and would be announced Saturday.
Whaaaaaaat, ha-ha!? A MARXIST?! Yer kidding, right? Are there even any of those discredited souls left?
Readers, what we have here is a GLADIO LEFTOVER!
A White House official said that it was too early to determine who was behind the attack and that the United States would conduct its own investigation.
That's ironic coming from them after what happened in Boston.
The bombing immediately called to mind the attack on a US diplomatic facility in Benghazi, Libya, more than four months ago that was carried out by Islamist extremists and killed the US ambassador there and three others. That episode touched off a politically charged debate in Washington about the protection of diplomats in the volatile Middle East, and it led to the tightening of security and heightened fears about Islamist militant extremism.
On Friday, after the Ankara attack, the State Department immediately warned American citizens to temporarily avoid US diplomatic offices in Turkey.
Just after lunchtime, according to images captured on a security camera and reported by the Turkish television channel NTV, a man entered a security checkpoint near the consular section and began to panic as the metal detector buzzed. When he reached for his midsection, a Turkish guard yelled, ‘‘Run away, a bomb!’’ according to NTV. The footage then went black.
Ambulances and the police rushed to the scene. A Turkish journalist on her way to have tea with the US ambassador, Francis J. Ricciardone Jr., was critically wounded.
Alaaddin Yuksel, the governor of Ankara, told reporters in televised remarks that the explosion took place at a security entrance to the embassy grounds. He spoke in front of the main embassy building, which appeared undamaged.
Hours after the attack, Interior Minister Muammer Guler said an initial investigation had identified the bomber as having been a member of an outlawed leftist group that Erdogan later identified as the Revolutionary People’s Liberation Party-Front, a Marxist-Leninist organization responsible for attacks on US targets in Turkey in the early 1990s.
Still, the White House spokesman, Jay Carney, said in a briefing in Washington, ‘‘We do not know at this point who is responsible or the motivations behind the attack.’’ The findings by the Turks were treated with suspicion by some terrorism specialists.
Wow, that's really, really rich after what happened in Boston.
The group Turkish officials blamed for the attack is on the State Department’s list of terrorist organizations and has mainly targeted Turkish officials and generals. It was held responsible for the assassination of a former prime minister in 1980 and a suicide attack on a police station in Istanbul in September.
Ali Nihat Ozcan, a senior fellow at the Ankara-based Economic Policy Research Foundation, said the group had in the past received support from Syria and suggested the attack — if the group’s involvement is confirmed — may have been related to Turkey’s support for the insurgency in Syria.
I knew someone in my war-promoting, agenda-pushing paper would make that link.
“We are talking about a highly marginal but dedicated urban terror group that has a large Arab Alawite membership, and tied to the Syrian intelligence with strong historical links since 1980s,’’ Ozcan said.
There also was some speculation that the bombing may have been meant to protest the recent deployment of US-made Patriot antimissile systems here, which were requested by Turkey after Syria lobbed shells across their shared border. But Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta, in an interview with CNN, said there was no evidence of such a connection.

"Attacker in Turkey had Marxist ties; Group claims responsibility in US facility blast" by Tim Arango and Sebnem Arsu | New York Times, February 03, 2013
ISTANBUL — A Marxist group with a history of political violence in Turkey claimed responsibility on Saturday for a suicide bombing at the US Embassy in Ankara the day before, releasing a statement calling the United States ‘‘the murderer of the peoples of the world.’’
Typical intelligence agency tactic: have "terrorists" proclaim some truth to discredit it.
The statement, which also denounced US foreign policy, was released by the Revolutionary People’s Liberation Party-Front, and a translation was distributed by the SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors the communications of extremist groups.
UH-OH!!
SITE Institute
Did you see what I saw?
IS ISRAEL CONTROLLING PHONY TERROR NEWS?
Can we get a second opinion on the translation?
The message, which was posted on a website that has in the past had statements from the group, condemned Turkey’s policy of supporting Syrian rebels fighting the government of President Bashar Assad and cooperation with the United States.
After conducting DNA tests, Turkish authorities Saturday identified the man who detonated explosives at the embassy, killing himself and a Turkish embassy guard, as Ecevit Sanli, 40, also known as Alisan Sanli.
Sanli was a convicted terrorist who had twice attacked government facilities in Istanbul but was released from prison under an amnesty program. Earlier Saturday, officials in the Black Sea town of Ordu said he was a resident.
He was released to do a mission!
The Ankara police said they had detained three people thought to have helped Sanli and had found a handgun linked to the militant group. They also released security footage from the embassy in which Sanli was shown pretending to be a courier.
All these scripts read the same.
The statement by the group included two photographs of Sanli. In one, he is holding an assault rifle, and a banner bearing the hammer-and-sickle symbol of communism is behind him.
Just like Lee Harvey, and who could ever question that?!
The attack, coming in the wake of the attack on a US diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, by Islamic extremists in September, initially raised fears that it was the work of jihadists. That the bomber has ties to a relatively minor Marxist group is likely to challenge assumptions about the nature of international terrorism and the risks to US interests abroad.
Not after Boston.
US officials have not confirmed the identity of the attacker or a motive. The United States plans to investigate.
What's taking them so long?
In a statement on Saturday, Ordu officials said Sanli spent four years in prison after being arrested in 1997 for attacking a military hostel and police station in Istanbul.
He was freed in 2001 under an amnesty program for inmates with medical conditions, Muammer Guler, the interior minister, said. Sanli reportedly had Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, a brain disorder caused by malnutrition that he acquired during a jailhouse hunger strike.
Why is it all these patsies are retards?
The authorities said Sanli lobbed a hand grenade during Friday’s attack just before detonating his explosives-packed vest, suggesting that there were two explosions.
Just like those kids out of the car in Boston.
The Turkish newspaper Hurriyet reported that Sanli had fled to Germany after being released from prison, and according to the semiofficial Anatolian News Agency, he returned to Turkey illegally only a few days before the attack by taking a boat from a Greek island across the Aegean.
Why would a Marxist flee to Nazi Germany, and why would he come back just before? And why am I acting as if this cover story crapola was worth commenting on?
The group has struck American and other Western targets in Turkey before, including during the gulf war in the early 1990s, and in its statement the group condemned NATO’s recent deployment of Patriot missile batteries in southern Turkey to protect against cross-border strikes from Syria.
Panetta said that had nothing to do with it, no evidence. WTF?!?! What is with the LYING?!
In a report published several days before the bombing, Soner Cagaptay, director of the Turkish research program at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, warned that the country’s support of Syrian rebels was rallying Turkey’s extreme left.
Do you know who WINEP is, dear readers?
Of course, now you understand why my agenda-pushing, war-promoting, Zionist-controlled newspaper cites them as an "expert."
“The country’s political landscape still bears vestiges of violent leftist movements from the 1970s, as well as deeply anti-American ultranationalism,’’ he wrote.
In the weeks before the attack, Turkish security forces arrested dozens of people thought to be members of the group, though human rights activists say those arrested have no links to terrorism.
What an absolute stench to this whole f***ing thing.

"Turkish police uncover bomb plots" April 12, 2013
ISTANBUL — Turkish police said Thursday that they found evidence of an Al Qaeda-linked plot to bomb the US Embassy in Ankara, a synagogue in Istanbul, and other targets, during a raid on two houses in February.
There, was that so hard? That's a lot better bullshit than some ancient marxist.
Turkish news reports said nearly 50 pounds of plastic explosives with detonation systems were seized, as well as six laptops and other evidence. Twelve suspects were arrested — two Chechens, two Azeris, and eight Turks.
Chechens. huh?
The police gathered evidence about two terrorist cells, one in Istanbul and one in Tekirdag on the Sea of Marmara. Forensic analysis of the computers’ contents and other documents, officials said, revealed preparations for attacks on the embassy, the private Rahmi M. Koc museum, and a synagogue in Istanbul.
Photographs, floor plans, and other information were found concerning those targets and the residences and offices of two popular Turks.
The US Embassy issued a travel warning, but said the Turkish National Police had not provided specific threat information about the targets.
Police in Tekirdag had been monitoring a man said to belong to Al Qaeda who arrived in the city two years ago, after military training in Afghanistan. That surveillance led to the February raid, they said.
In 2008, three gunmen attacked security guards outside the US diplomatic mission in Istanbul in a shootout that left the assailants and three officers dead. The deadliest terrorist incident in recent Turkish history were in 2003, when 67 people were killed in attacks that were attributed to militants linked to Al Qaeda.
