Terror Attack at Israeli Embassy in Turkey

In an incident eerily reminiscent of recent terrorist attacks in Israel and the US, a man attempted to approach the Israeli Embassy in Ankara, Turkey armed with a knife Wednesday afternoon and was shot in the leg by an armed, off-duty Turkish police officer who happened to be passing by. “The staff is safe,” an Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman said, while Reuters reported that a Turkish police officer confirmed the attacker had shouted “Allahu Akbar” while attempting to attack the embassy.
