And by contributions to your pbs station from viewers like you. Thank you. Brown for the second time in five months, a u. S. Diplomatic post has been the target of a deadly assault. A suicide bomber detonated a vest with explosives outside the u. S. Embassy in ankara, turkey, today, killing himself and a security guard. The white house described it as a terrorist attack. The explosion occurred around 1 15 p. M. Local time. Afterward, police tried to hold back the crowd gathered outside the u. S. Facility in the turkish capital. Debris littered the street near a Side Entrance where the blast took place. Emergency workers wheeled one of the injured into an awaiting ambulance. U. S. Ambassador to turkey Francis Ricciardone spoke to reporters outside the embassy. Right now, we are all dealing with our sadness at the loss of our fellow member of our embassy. We salute his bravery, his service to turkey and to turkishamerican friendship. Our hearts go out to his family. Brown in istanbul, Prime MinisterRecep Tayyip Erdogan called the bombing an attack against peace in our country. And in washington, the state departments Victoria Nuland said a series of security upgrades to the Ankara Embassy saved lives. Where this happened was on an external perimeter access site far from the main building. It is that kind of setback, that kind of hardening, that kind of structure that weve been working on over the past ten years that actually insured that this wasnt far worse than it could have been. Brown no group has claimed responsibility for the bombing, but turkish officials said it was the work of an outlawed domestic militant front. A short time ago, i spoke to Tulin Daloglu in ankara. Shes a reporter for almonitor, a media web site that covers developments in the middle east. Welcome. Well, you arrived on the scene shortly after the explosion. Tell us what you saw. I talked to the witnesses, the neighbors here. And people told me that there was a huge explosion. The sound was really too loud and they said that the walls trembled in their homes and they felt that their organs had shaken. So she immediately understood that something went terribly wrong at the u. S. Embassy, their neighbor. And as i looked around i seen that, you know, also our journalists, the turkish correspondents here were kind of calm and quiet because the only injured is now at the hospital, is one of ours. A turkish correspondent, diplomatic correspondent. Brown now the turkish interior minister said the bomber was a member of a far left group. What is known about this group . And why they might attack a u. S. Facility . Well, this group named revolutionary Peoples Liberation party in turkish we call it was founded in 1978. And its a secular terrorist organization, different from the islamist leaning terrorist organization. It embraces a marxist leninist ideology. It is antiimperialist, antiu. S. And antinato for that matter. It has attacked u. S. Interests and facilities during and before and after the first gulf war. But they hadnt done anything for a long time. So today is the first after, you know, a long break that they had attacked. U. S. Embassy here in ankara. To you do we know how clear the evidence is that points to them . And i ask this because ive seen some terrorism experts here in the u. S. Questioning about whether the turkish government has rushed to judgement in pinpointing this group, particularly because there are any number of groups operating in turky, capable of such violence. True there are a number of terrorist organizations from, you know, extremist leftist to kurdish to islamist terrorist organizations operating in turkey. I wouldnt go into speculating further than what the turkish authorities have provided to the turkish media. And were hoping that the coming days we are going to have more details as to why this happened and why, whoever targeted the u. S. Embassy today had done so we dont know really much detail tonight. Tulin daloglu is in ankara for us tonight, thank you so much.

The brash, boldtalking former mayor of new york city, ed koch, died today of congestive Heart Failure at a hospital in new york. Good morning. Im ed koch, and im running for mayor. How am i doing . Sreenivasan ed koch was most at home on the streets of manhattan. A quintessential new yorker, the larger than life koch, who ran city hall from 1978 to 1989, was best known for shepherding new york out of financial ruin, restoring the citys finances through tough budget cuts, and improving its decaying subway system. But he insisted his biggest personal achievement was rallying new yorkers through the 1980 transit strike that crippled the city. Still, as homelessness and aids soared in the 80s, his response was criticized. And the city was roiled by racial tensions amid the beating deaths of two black teenagers at the hands of white gangs. During the 1988 president ial campaign, koch ignited controversy saying jews would be crazy to vote for jesse jackson. But koch told the Macneil Lehrer newshours Charlayne HunterGault Jackson was provoking people. Ive been the mayor here for 11 years. For ten years, prior to this particular period, weve had no difficulty in this city as it relates to civil disturbance. What he is in fact conjuring up is that the summer that he came here, there might be civil disturbance. Thats what hes saying fire in the theatre. I dont think thats very nice of him to do. Sreenivasan koch left office in 1989 after losing the democratic primary to david dinkins. Current new york mayor Michael Bloomberg reflected on kochs legacy today. And when we mourn his passing, ed really we always say this, but ed really would have wanted us to celebrate his life and the life of the city he loved. Sreenivasan koch voiced that love for his city often, as here in a documentary released in theaters today. Whenever i would fly home, there was the city of new york laid out before me, and i thought to myself, this belongs to me its extraordinary. Thank you, god. laughs sreenivasan ed koch was 88 years old. Those are some of the days major stories. Now, back to judy. Woodruff and we turn to another story from Margaret Warner in israel. Shes been exploring key issues facing both president obama and Prime Minister netanyahu after elections in both countries. Earlier this week, margaret looked at the spillover of the war in syria and the threat posed by Irans Nuclear program. Tor ghts report, sheto traveled to the west bank and gaza to examine the growing disillusionment among both israelis and palestinians about the prospects for peace. When i start a small business, then start to be big. Warner he launched his furniture business in the west bank town 20 years ago. S a young man just before the 1993 oslo accords promised a newera in israelipalestinian relations. He thought his world was changing. And all of my customer is israeli people, israeli companies. I reach. Warner times were good with 150 employee os making and selling furniture. Then came the second palestinian intifadah or uprising, that brought suicide bombings and terror to israel. After the intifadah all things gone, closed, everything. Warner thousands of shoppers from israel used to drive up this road to take advantage of bargains in the palestinian shops just ahead. But after the violence of the early 2000s, the popular shopping district has become a virtual ghost town. Hundreds of miles of concrete and concertina wire now separate israel and the wes banks. With sharp restrictions on travel between them. Shop signs in hebrew have been papered over. Many have closed. Maree went from 100 wholesale israeli customers to ten. We used to go over there shopping on saturdays. And thats how i met mahmoud. Israeli merchant essi achavan sells his furniture from his store in tel aviv. Besides the business we talk to each other every day. We ask about each Others Health and about his kids and everything else. Warner but the warm feelings dont extend to most palestinians. If it wasnt with the business, i dont like you very much. I take your money and thats it. The hate that they teach them in palestinian schools, and you could see it y could feel it. Warner and maree distrusts most israelis he knows. They say they want peace. But when they have elections, they vote for on one like netanyahu. Dont want these. Only want to take more land, to make the whole more like snake. The two Public Opinions are splitting apart, growingly in both israel and palestine. Warner Ghassan Khatib former professor, government minister and pollster says growing numbers of palestinians and israelis know nothing of each other. They dont go there. They dont go shopping from israel. They dont go for beaches in israel. Israel for them is only soldiers, occupying soldiers. Which adds very negatively the Mutual Understanding. Warner creating Mutual Understanding was the idea behind bitter lemons. Org, a web site khatib founded with israeli analyst alpher, a forum for israeli, palestinians and arabs to engage on dialogue online but last fall after 11 careers bitter lemon shut down. The demise of bitter lemons is a kind of metaphor for what is happening in the middle east. Warner alpher said donor interesteds faltered and some palestinian and arabs grew reluctant to contribute. There were pressures on palestinian writers, veteran writers, no long ter to take part. Warner to what degree does the demise of bitter lemons also reflect the growing distance between israelis as a society and palestinians a society over the last dozen years. I think to a high degree. It reflects that growing distance. The cynicism has grown, the sense of hopelessness, the sense is not much left to talk about. Warner two states sidebyside is still the goal espoused by israeli Prime Minister netanyahu and Palestinian Authority president Mahmoud Abbas and the united states. But there have been no meaningful negotiations in five years. And the militant group hamas running gaza rejects them entirely. Meanwhile israeli settlements in the west Bank Continue to expand. And polls show public support for negotiations on a two state solution while still a majority, is shrink on both sides. The dream of an agreement for two states, living sidebyside is less doable nowadays. I think that there is a beginning of change in the political thinking among the new generation. They probably feel as i do, and as a growing number of israelis and palestinians do, that negotiations even if renewed, are pointless. Warner we found those hardening attitudes among young people in two cafes, just eight miles but a world apart. Avishai shraga and his wife thatire took their baby a Financial News web site writer he was called for army duty in last years conflict in gaza. We are going to defend ourselves and do it determinedly. Including there going to war. Warner at 30 the only palestinians hes known were as a soldier on the west bank. He thinks netanyahu should spend his energy on problem os at home, not pursuing talks with the divided palestinian leadership. Theres not enough room here for two states. If we give up the west bank, tell arrive is going to be under fire for a long time. Warner but his wife taire who works in the Tourism Industry has fears too, that without talks, the current calm wont hold. Do you think the status quo can last indefinitely. Absolutely not. Unfortunately. We see periods of quiet, and thats what we are in right now. But we know to look ahead and to be weary. Warner so what do you think is the alternative . Make the situation better for both palestinians and israelis. There is a lot of work to do on their side. Warner that work is being done in ran a labs, the west bank home of thein Palestinian Authority, the separation has boosted business here o hi
