Dear Friends,

A Turkish security guard was killed and several other people wounded in a suicide bombing outside the highly-fortified US embassy in Ankara today, officials said.

Pacifica Institute condemns the attack and strongly rejects any use of force to terrorize innocent people and the killing of innocent people. We have no doubt that those who are responsible for this horrific attack will not escape from questioning and will carry out the necessary justice. We strongly believe that the friendly relationship between the peoples of Turkey and U.S., which dates back to the 18th century, will not be affected by this attack.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims’ families and loved ones. Pacifica Institute condemns the violence of this kind against any group of people.
