They could have been a little more specific by stating it was outside the Embassy building. The checkpoint and the guard are/were part of the Embassy.

Was the Murrah building in Oklahoma City bombed?
By your reasoning -- no it wasn't, as the bomb was in a truck outside the building on the street.The Oklahoma City bombing was a terrorist bomb attack on the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995. It would remain the most destructive act of terrorism on American soil until the September 11, 2001 attacks. The Oklahoma blast claimed 168 lives, including 19 children under the age of 6,[1] and injured more than 680 people.[2] The blast destroyed or damaged 324 buildings within a sixteen-block radius, destroyed or burned 86 cars, and shattered glass in 258 nearby buildings.[3][4] The bomb was estimated to have caused at least $652 million worth of damage.[5] Extensive rescue efforts were undertaken by local, state, federal, and worldwide agencies in the wake of the bombing, and substantial donations were received from across the country. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) activated eleven of its Urban Search and Rescue Task Forces, consisting of 665 rescue workers who assisted in rescue and recovery operations
No... your post stated
" I suggest that you try reading comprehension. It was your title header that I challenged as incorrect. The Embassy was subject to an attack, it was not "bombed" as you stated. Any idiot would notice that the BBC avoided using such a ridiculous lead header.
Are you that obtuse that you can't read your own post? Just because YOU wanted to give the bombing a different name doesn't mean it wasn't a bombing that happen to the embassy......
And here is the thread title...
" US Embassy in Turkey Bombed by Suicide Attack - Right Wing Christians Not Suspected"
Share with the world what is not correct about it!
BTW... The White House is calling it a suicide "bombing", so maybe you should explain to them why it's an assault according to your most informed reasoning.

I hope nobody here actually wonders why it is that US embassys get bombed, and not French, Chinese, Brit, Canadian, Brazillian, Russian, Japanese or German ones.
As I said, My posts clearly state what happened. They also show why Jeebus' headline was incorrect.
You iust reposting what I stated and posting Jeebus' subsequently edited opening post is not making any viable point.
I need not explain anything to The White House, my opriginal post was in relation to a BBC report hours before The White House made comment.
Instead of steaming in late to the party, look at the opening posts in their time frame, take on board that Jeebus edited his, and try again. Otherwise I suggest that you stick to ramps, you probably can beat me in discussions about those (whatever they are).
Because of all the BS underhanded crap we pull like what happened in Benghazi? It seems even the new Libyan government didn't have a clue. And yet a Turkish Ambassador shows up on Libyan ground to work with our CIA to move weapons that belonged to Libya to Syria and we got caught with our pants down. No wonder Tunisia let go the only suspect we had in the Benghazi attack. They don't trust America and their scared as hell of the terrorists groups.
Yes you post 2 hours later clearly states your point..
"2 Hours after his edited post you are the one that stated the embassy was attacked and not bombed.
At 0900 this morning it was clearly being reported that a "bombing" had damaged the embassy. Care to denied that.
You took the words right out of my mouth !!!!
Was Hillary still SOS or is it Kerry? Well never no mind someones head has gotta roll in that Obama ministration.
See this is what happens when you have a socialess, muslim, facsist, diktaor with no birf certifkat as prezdent. When he take all yall guns (he aint gettin minezen) all yall will be sorry.
p.s. I know fox news an rush limbar will git to the bottom of it.![]()
It was merely a guess, WKDWZD.
After all, filthy death worshiping jihadis love the tactic of using a suicide bomber to slaughter innocents.
Just like yesterday in Pakistan
But my guess about the perpetrator of the embassy attack was clearly wrong.An explosion in a market in northwestern Pakistan on Friday killed at least 21 people and wounded 33 in what the police described as a suicide bombing.
The Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack in Hangu, about 70 miles west of Peshawar, the capital of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Province. Abu Omar, a Taliban commander in the neighboring tribal region of North Waziristan, said in a telephone interview that the attack was in revenge for the killing on Thursday of a Sunni cleric.
