Gunmen Attack US Consulate In Turkey After Explosion Kills Three
Just as the Ferguson night turned violent, again, and at least two people were struck by gunfire during the latest riot to "commemorate" the death of Michael Brown, reports of violence came from another part in the world, Turkey where moments ago CNN Turk reported that two attackers, a man and a woman, opened fire on the U.S. consulate building in Turkey's biggest city, Istanbul, on Monday and fled when police shot back.
The Cihan news agency said those involved in the attack on the building in Istanbul's Sariyer district included one man and one woman. CNN Turk said there were no casualties.
Al Jazeera has more:
A gun attack targeted the US Consulate in Istanbul leading to an exchange of fire between assailants and security personnel, according to local media reports.
The reports said that one attacker was male and the other one was female, adding that the police was searching for the suspects.
Turkey has been in a heightened state of alert since it launched what officials described as a "synchronized war on terror" last month, including air strikes against Islamic State fighters in Syria and Kurdish militants in northern Iraq, and the detention of hundreds of suspects at home.
U.S. diplomatic missions have been targeted in Turkey in the past.
The far-leftist Revolutionary People's Liberation Army-Front (DHKP-C), whose members are among those detained in recent weeks, claimed responsibility for a suicide bombing at the U.S. embassy in Ankara in 2013 which killed a Turkish security guard.
This follows more local violence when a bomb attack at an Istanbul police station early on Monday morning killed three people and injured at least 10, the Dogan news agency said on Monday. Istanbul police headquarters confirmed in a statement that three police officers and seven civilians were wounded in the blast, but gave no death toll.
The attack targeted the police station in Istanbul's Sultanbeyli neighbourhood early on Monday morning and caused a fire that collapsed part of the three-storey building, the agency reported. The explosion also damaged neighbouring buildings and around 20 cars parked nearby, the private Dogan news agency reported.
One of the police officers injured in the explosion is reportedly in critical condition.
Al Jazeera's Bernard Smith, reporting from Istanbul, said the blast struck at about 1am local time on Monday morning. "The neighbourhood is right on the outside edge of Istanbul in what could be called a 'conservative' area, way away from the central part of the city," he said.
He said that there was no immediate claim for the attack, which comes at a time of a sharp spike in violence between Turkey's security forces and fighters from the Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK.
The attacks also come at a time when Turkey is taking a more active role against Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) fighters.
In fact, as described in detail in "We Have A Civil War": Inside Turkey's Descent Into Political, Social, And Economic Chaos, things in the country located at the nexus between Europe and Asia are about to get a whole lot worse:
Deflecting criticism surrounding Ankara’s anti-terror air campaign, Turkey’s foreign minister Mevlut Cavusoglu last week told state television that strikes against ISIS targets would pick up once the US had its resources in place at Incirlik which will supposedly serve as a hub for a new "comprehensive battle."
As of yesterday, the next phase in Turkey's NATO-blessed war against the PKK ISIS is about to unfold when yesterday six F-16 jets and about 300 personnel arrived in Incirlik Air Base in Turkey, the U.S. military said, after Ankara agreed last month to allow American planes to launch air strikes against Islamic State militants from there.
Prepare for much more violence, both real and false flagged, out of Turkey as the "war of Syrian invasion and Qatari gas pipeline liberation" unwinds with increasingly faster speed.

NATO at it's best?
lmfao
People from more and more countries are expressing their love for America! :)
who didt do nuffin dis time mulims or blacks?
From prior pundit postings, looks like Turkey is beginning to fall into chaos, civil war, and this is where W W 3 begins .... Nato vs the Kurds
Saudi Arabia started the Proxy Financial W W 3 a year ago.
Nudelman says 'Fuck the Turkey'.
OK - That's IT. The U.S. should ban guns in Turkey! Or at least demand FBI background checks, a cooling off period, and your first-born male child.
Yeah, I know we run OUR guns through there to keep al Nusra and ISIS supplied with arms, but the CIA doesn't have to follow the rules.
What? Turkey is not the property of the U.S.? Bah... that's never stopped us before.
Nudelman says 'Fuck the Turkey'.
Empires collapse from the outside in. Turkey is the edge of the West's empire. Russia will ultimately retain control of Ukraine, and regain influence in Poland and the Baltic States, as buffer states.
Right now what can be seen is a waiting game, or rather a battle to see who collapses first: China, Russia, or the West. The thing is, when one collapses all will collapse in turn. Perhaps, then, it is only about what story who will be able to tell their "citizens" about the cause of the problems they are having shoved down their throats. This is why each are hanging on and lying their asses off, manipulating everything, etc.
Empires of shit, built on lies, death, corruption, theft, and threats. Game of Sociopaths.
Ah Yes Obama's legacy of peace and unity. Kumbaya mother fucker.
False flag attack by Turkey! Erdogan's government will "find" those "terrorists". This attack can then be used to justify the harsh treatment of Kurds by the Turks. The Turkish NATO allies and NATO countries then have to unconditionally support the "war against terror/Kurds". If you want to learn more about the Turkish genocide history, watch the fantastic movie "America, America" by Elia Kazan:

U.S.A U.S.A. U.S.A
But everyone still wants to come here. So, must still be the best out there. Save your hate for the Banking cartel and Washington Con game, the country without them is the best of the best!
"They're jealous of our freedom."
These soliders are sitting ducks and their commander in chief is on a 2 week holiday in a 12 million dollar house. This shit has got to end!
No, Yen, not NATO, but MSG discrasing the Corps, and the rest of the Services (particularly in light of Bengazi).
2 shooters who shot and they both walked???
Time to change the creed to "This is didun do nuffin's rifle" because they are either inept and incompetent to the point of deserving eutheansia or being reliefved of their duty at gunpoint in the middle of an engagement... or they are working for "them" against their own State.
"A gun attack...."
AI is getting better all the time, now they have guns attacking on their own.

The nuclear explosion on the new Terminator is pretty cool.
"six F-16 jets and about 300 personnel arrived in Incirlik Air Base in Turkey"
indeed ... "Prepare for much more violence"
You're SPOT on.
"Major Strasser has been shot! Round up the usual suspects."
Love your contents and your website..... but wonder why your website coding is so anal and as you go down in the comments section it only covers like 1/2 in" page width. Tell your tech dick heads to code the left and right boxes to permit some space in the center column.
Ajax login would be nice...

More workplace violence?
More spots, or crystals this time, one can only wonder.
Why did Ford move production of the Transit from England to Turkey?
They were Fixed Or Repaird Daily in england so they "flew" the coup all the way to turkey?
Maybe they got a great deal on junked Dodges?
After all, we don't call them Fucked Over Rebuit Dodges for nothing.
Incirlik Air Base... the US Army Corps of Engineers began construction in 1951, who's your daddy eh?
cluster-fuck is the expression that comes to mind
Turkey's holiday/tourism industry is at risk now. I already know of people cancelling their trips to Turkey. Yes, the odds of being at the wrong place at the wrong time are low, but a lot of people are starting to see that Turkey is a supporter of ISIS.
Too bad NATO wasn't as smart.
The Mediterranean coast of Turkey (Bodrum, Marmaris, Antalya etc.) is very popular with Brits, Germans and Russians. Always has been.
Was it Adam Lanza?
Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission..
What a mess...
Ain't any niggers or musloids within many miles of my pasture. But flies and skeeters are enough for me.
And one good thing is that if there are, you'll be able to see them and protect your pasture from a distance, unlike urban environs.
A good scoped deer rifle does wonders for pest control at long ranges.
Scared of Muslims?
You should definitley ask .gov to take away some of your liberties, just to make you feel safer.
Which youtube video triggered this one?
'a man and a woman, opened fire on the U.S. consulate building'
Was it Hillary and McCain?
Just going of past M.O. of killing Americans.
Where were they at the time of the shooting?
Turkey is one country, whose bad Karma is due for a major payback. They have never really answered for slaughtering millions in the Armenain genocide, and over the years, have carried out a silent Kurd ethnic cleansing. Finally, these idiots have bitten more than they can chew.
Exactly! They have been assholes to the neighboring countries for the past 100 years. Ask Bulgarians, or Greeks, or Syrians...they have a Turkish party sitting in the Bulgarian parliament - an EU-member - and ship the voters in by Bus, from Turkey. Lots of Gimmicks these Turks. Now Karma will take care of them.
They used to fly U-2's out of Incirclik and Peshawar. This goes back to cold war days.Turkey and Afghanistan
have always been on the frontline against Russia.The US never gives up its' overseas bases.What's another
common factor? Drugs.Lots of drugs.CIA,drugs and special operations.
Death to Syrian women and children!
Free the Qatari-EU NatGas Pipeline!
Americans deserve it
and its coming to USSA
Retribution
