Police Sources: Suicide Bomber Kills At Least 3 At US Embassy Compound In Turkey -- NBC
A suicide bomber blew himself up at an entrance to the U.S. Embassy compound in Ankara on Friday, killing at least three people, Turkish police sources said.
The bomber got to the first X-ray machine leading to the visa section, the sources added.
U.S. Ambassador Francis Ricciardione told reporters that a guard at the gate was killed and a Turkish citizen was wounded in the blast, which happened at 1:15 p.m. local time (6:15 a.m. ET), The Associated Press reported.
An AP journalist saw a body in the street outside, but it was unclear whether this was the guard or someone else.
Turkish television footage showed smoke rising from the area and the heavily damaged door, which led to a side street.
