There are two reports of deaths involved. One says a suicide bomber. Another says two have died at this. One agent in turkey say these were turkey security employees. This appears to be a side security gate to tell bacy. The staff in the embassy, were told, are in a lockdown now, not responding to phone calls at this stage. The embassy in turkey, by the way, with a lot of u. S. Embassies under the threat in the islamic world, this embassy does not come under one of those to be a prime security threat. The explosion appears to have been sizeable enough to damage the security gate at the side of the embassy but no damage from the initial picture, anyway, to the embassy proper. Charlie, norah .

And now white house officials tell cbss Major Garrett theyre disappointed at yesterdays confirmation hearing but they believe the former nebraska senator will be confirmed if only by a slim margin. One of the most damages remarks came from john mccain over the iraq troop surge. Would you please answer the question. Were you correct or incorrect when you said the surge would be the most dangerous Foreign Policy blunder in this country since vietnam. Were you correct or incorrect . Yes or no . My reference to are you answering the question, senator hagel . The question is were you right or wrong . Thats a pretty straightforward question. I want you to answer whether you were right or wrong and then u youre free to elaborate. Im not going to give you a yes or no answer to a lot of things. Let the record show he refuses to answer that question. With us now is washington chief correspondent and host of face the nation, Bob Schieffer. Bob, good morning. I think they were disappointed. They usually press their nominees. Well, thankfully and lets not forget, chuck hagel was the cochairman of john mccains president ial campaign when john mccain ran the first time. This is stunning. But i agree with you. I mean generally on Something Like this what will happen, the white house will come back and stoutly defend the guy and say theyre being unfair to him, and they started they didnt say it on the record but they started leaking all these reports they were disappointed and all that. To me thats almost fellows if youve got a hard vote coming up here, we understand. How serious is the damage and does it derail the nomination . Well, either it does or the white house is absolutely certain of every democratic vote in the senate. Right. If it is, there are more democrats there than the republicans and they think hell get confirmed by a narrow margin. But i find this like you, norah. Ive never heard or seen the white house react quite the way they did to this. But everyone expected hagel would get a tough grill because of past comments he made about the iraq surge, questions he made about iran and questions he made about the quote unquote jewish lobby. For sure they knew this was coming. The questions, if you read the Washington Post or the New York Times or the wire services, you knew these were the questions they were going to get, and he did not seem able to really answer them. And i think i think this nomination may be in trouble. You know, i was there when sam nunn took on john tower who was nominated to be secretary of defense. And, of course, his number one defender, johns defender was john mccain back in those days. But this is part of how they feel about the iraq war too. And ive asked john mccain, i mean, what is this deal with you and chuck hagel. He says its policy. Its all policy. So thats what he says. And, bob, nice bead this morning. I like that. Youre always in the spirit. And who have you got coming up on sunday . Were going to have roger goodell, the commissioner of football. And i think it ought to be with all the questions about and especially with, you know, barack obama saying hed have questions about whether his son would play if he had a son. So plenty to talk to the commissioner about. Its great to be in new orleans, let me also say that. Great to have you. Your kind of town. Thank you, bob.

To government sponsored hackers inside china. Chinese officials denied the allegations calling them not professional and groundless but both papers say there is evidence hackers stole reporters passwords and attempted to monitor governments of the papers. Statesponsored spies, mostly from china, every day infiltrate a Broad Spectrum of government and Business Networks insight the u. S. Cyber terrorism presents one of the biggest threats. Secretary of defense nominee chuck hagel warned the attacks could be crippling. Its an insidious quiet kind of a threat that weve never quite seen before. It can paralyze a nation in a second. For now the damage is economic. Cyber spies and criminal hackers are stealing corporate secrets worth an estimated 250 billion a year from u. S. Businesses but they worry more about attacks from critical infrastructure, power grids, financial works. Former fbi cyber chief shaun henry says while none yet has been confirmed, it could happen.
