DHA photo A suspected suicide bombing has occurred in front of the U.S. Embassy in Ankara, causing at least two deaths.

Two people, including the suspected assailant, as well as a security guard, were killed in the explosion while two others were injured, according to initial reports.

The explosion occurred at the entrance used by the embassy personnel and their visitors, CNNTürk reported. A security guard at the X-ray machine at the entrance was killed in the explosion that occurred as the suspected suicide bomber was passing through the machine, the report said.

Bomb experts are at the scene of the blast, Daily News reporter Hüseyin Hayatsever reported from the site of the explosion. Police have taken precautions against the possibility of a second attack, he added.

Daily Vatan reporter Kıvanç El claimed in a televised interview that the police suspected that the assault was a suicide bomb attack and that there were body parts strewn around the site.

El said the blast occured at the embassy building’s second entrance.

Another reporter told NTV, citing U.S. embassy personnel, that there was no damage inside the embassy.

Ambulances and firefighters have been dispatched to the area.

All US embassy personnel have been taken to saferooms in the embassy, a reporter from daily Star told NTV.

I have always said that the people who work the metal detectors will be the first to die when someone with a bomb or a gun wish to enter.

Hillary’s and the demoncrat party’s legacy is to make every white Western European being a SITTING TARGET for terrorism and murder.

What’s left will be stupid takers and fakers who are much easier to dominate.

The ruling class always wins. Parasites reproduce much faster than workers.

“Police have taken precautions against the possibility of a second attack, he added.”

Ah, nothing to worry about then.

Our fly-bait pres’ent has everything under control.

Because he’s a Democrat.

The President's work day does not begin today until 11 am. I am sure that when he wakes up in a couple of hours, somebody will be sure to mention this to him.

I don’t believe in confiscating all suicide bombs. People should be allowed to own suicide bombs with a legitimate sporting purpose, but they should all be registered./sarc
