Officials gather at a checkpoint entry to the U.S. Embassy in the Turkish capital, Ankara, on Friday just after a suicide bomber detonated an explosive device.

In the second deadly assault on a U.S. diplomatic post in five months, a suicide bomber struck the American Embassy in Ankara on Friday, killing a Turkish security guard in what the White House described as a terrorist attack.
