Turkish authorities knew in advance about the attack on the US Embassy in Ankara, but didn’t have enough information to prevent it, President Abdullah Gul said Monday. The security and intelligence organizations warned everyone and were on alert.
The suicide bomber, Ecevit Sanli, who was a member of the outlawed Revolutionary People's Liberation Party-Front, struck the US Embassy on Friday, killing himself and a security guard and seriously injuring a former Turkish TV journalist. The attack was proclaimed as a protest against US policy in the Middle East.
