Turkish extreme left-wing group DHKP-C said on Saturday that it was responsible for a suicide bomb attack on the US embassy in Ankara on Friday, according to a statement on a website affiliated with the group.
“Our warrior Alisan Sanli carried out an act of self-sacrifice on Feb 1, 2013, by entering the Ankara embassy of the United States, murderer of the people of the world,” the statement said.
The suicide bomber detonated an explosive Friday in front of the U.S. Embassy, killing himself and a guard at the entrance gate.
The bomb exploded inside the security checkpoint at the side entrance to the embassy, but did not damage the inside of the embassy itself.

It is a scary thing to read about how much the DHKP-C dislikes the U.S. that they would order suicide bombers to bomb the embassy there. I only hope that the Turkish government properly punishes them for this action.
