ISTANBUL, Turkey — Istanbul’s governor says an armed attack against a police guard post outside the U.S. consulate in Istanbul left three attackers and three policemen dead.
Gov. Muammer Guler says the attackers’ identities are under investigation.
A U.S. Embassy spokeswoman says there were no reports of casualties among American consulate employees in Wednesday’s attack.
The spokeswoman says “at least one assailant opened fire on the Turkish police guard post area near the main entrance to the consulate.” She requested anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter.
