Radical Leftists At The Heart Of Turkey Embassy Attack
The group responsible is the Revolutionary People's Liberation Party-Front (DHKP-C), a radical Marxist-Leninist group that has operated within Turkey since 1994, according to Interior Minister Muammer Guler.
They are designated as a foreign terrorist organization by the U.S. State Department.
They splintered from a group started in 1978 named Revolutionary Youth due to factional in-fighting. They are virulently anti-Turkey, anti-U.S., and anti-NATO and finance their operations through donations and extortion.
The organization has had many successful attacks in the past: they assassinated two military contractors and wounded a U.S. Air Force officer in 1990, launched rockets at the U.S. Consulate in Istanbul in 1992, and assassinated a prominent Turkish businessman and two others in 1996.
They added suicide bombings to their tactics in two successful attacks against Turkish police in 2001.
