British Consulate in Turkey Bombed

It was not clear if the two attacks were linked. Nobody has claimed responsibility for the consulate attack, which came hours after Turkey’s 2-0 defeat by England in a Euro 2004 soccer qualifier in England.
Resentment toward Britain and the United States has been running high in this predominantly Muslim country because of war in Iraq, which borders Turkey.

More than 90 percent of Turks are against war and images of civilian casualties repeatedly broadcast on Turkish television stations are fueling the anger.

In London, Britain’s Foreign Office said the consulate blast caused only superficial damage.
