Posted on July 10th, 2008 by Jenny White
Excerpts from news article:
Three policemen and three gunmen were killed in an armed attack yesterday on the US Consulate General in Istanbul… The consulate occupies a citadel-like structure on a hill in Istinye, a densely populated residential neighborhood along the Bosporus on the European side of Istanbul. Turkish police guard the street, while US personnel are in charge of security inside the consulate compound. During the attack US security personnel stayed inside the compound, as they are not authorized to engage in armed action on Turkish soil."
