Excerpt from AP - AMI BENTOV Associated Press Writer
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100817/ap_on_re_mi_ea/ml_israel_embassy_attack

A lawyer told Israel Radio that the hostages, the consul and his wife, escaped.

Israel Radio reported from the scene that rescue workers with stretchers tried to enter the seaside embassy compound but left without bringing out any wounded.

The radio report said Turkish officials were not allowing Israeli police or rescue workers to enter the embassy.

“We know of one lightly injured person,” Eli Binn of the Israeli rescue service told Channel 10 TV.

The Israeli Maariv newspaper said the man called the paper, identifying himself as Nadim Injaz, a Palestinian who sought asylum at the British Embassy in Tel Aviv in 2006. He said he had a flammable liquid and threatened, “I will kill any Jew that enters.”

Ugh. That reminds me eerily of another building where hostages were held.

Hostages escaped, Turks don’t want help...this is officially a non-problem. Chain the doors and go home.
