There are reports from turkish media that a bomb exploded outside the entrance to the U.S. Embassy in Ankara, Turkey, and witnesses say it may be a suicide attack. Details are still very limited, but the blast happened sometime around 1:00 p.m. local time (6:00 a.m. Eastern) and there are reports of damage to the building and many wounded bystanders.
 The Telegraph says the explosion was caused by package, not a suicide bomber, but all reports remained unconfirmed.  Kesler says his sources are saying one Turkish police officer and the bomber are the two dead people.
