The American Embassy in Ankara, Turkey's capital city, was attacked on February 1 by a suicide bomber believed to be Ecevit Şanlı of the Revolutionary People's Liberation Party-Front, a Marxist-Leninist group. A security guard was killed in the attack. Daloglu's films are one of the first attempts to use Vine [12] for journalism purposes. Journalists are discussing potential uses [13] for Vine in the future.
