In a statement posted on its website Saturday, the leftist militant group Revolutionary People’s Liberation Party-Front, or DHKP-C, claimed responsibility for the suicide bombing at the U.S. Embassy in Ankara, Turkey that killed a security guard. 

From the Associated Press:

It said the suicide bomber, Ecevit Sanli, carried out the act of “self-sacrifice” on behalf of the group.

A government terror expert confirmed the authenticity of the Revolution Liberation website that is linked to the DHKP-C. He spoke on condition of anonymity in line with rules that bar civil servants from speaking to reporters without prior authorization.
