Morocco Strongly Condemns Attack Against U.S. Embassy In Turkey‏



The Moroccan Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a communiqué strongly condemning the attack that struck on February 1, the United States Embassy in the Turkish capital, Ankara.

“The Kingdom of Morocco has learned with great sorrow the news of the terrorist attack that targeted the U.S. embassy in Ankara, expresses its solidarity with the Republic of Turkey, government and people, and expresses its sympathy to the victims,” said the same source.

“Morocco reiterates its condemnation of terrorism in all its forms and calls on the international community to intensify efforts and initiatives to deal with this scourge,” the statement added.

Morocco, itself being a victim of terrorist acts in 2003, 2007 and 2011 condemned that attack by a suicide bomber who blew himself up at the US embassy in Ankara killing a Turkish security guard and wounding three other people.

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the bomber was a member of the Revolutionary People’s Liberation Front (DHKP-C), a radical left-wing group blamed for several attacks since the late 1970s including suicide bombings and attacks on prominent figures

“It is definitely DHKP-C,” Erdogan told the Haber-Turk television network, but he declined to provide further details before DNA test results were available.

The attacker detonated explosives strapped to his body after entering an embassy gatehouse on Thursday.

US officials said the DHKP-C were the main suspects but did not exclude other possibilities.

Turkish media reports identified the bomber as DHKP-C member who had been involved in attacks on a police station and a military staff college in Istanbul in 1997

Recent Crackdown
Two weeks ago, Turkey carried out a major nationwide crackdown on the DHKP-C group, arresting 85 people.

A court subsequently remanded 38 of them in custody over links to the group which is branded a terrorist organisation by the United States and the European Union.

It most recently claimed a suicide bombing that killed a police officer in Istanbul on September 11.

DHKP-C is vehemently anti-US and anti-NATO, and despises the Turkish establishment. However there was no immediate claim of responsibility for what was the latest of many bloody attacks in Turkey.

In the past officials have blamed Kurdish fighters, leftist extremists or al-Qaeda linked groups.

NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen “strongly condemned” the “outrageous attack on the diplomatic premises of one ally, on the territory of another ally”.

The bombing showed “a reckless disregard for human life and for the inviolability of diplomatic staff,” he added in a statement.

The embassy warned US citizens to avoid its diplomatic missions in Turkey until further notice and to avoid potential troublespots and demonstrations.

The British mission in Istanbul called on British businesses to tighten security after what it called a “suspected terrorist attack”.

In 2008, Turkish gunmen with suspected links to al-Qaeda opened fire on the US consulate in Istanbul, killing three Turkish policemen. The gunmen died in the subsequent firefight.
