killing at least two people and wounding at least seven others.
>
> The explosion occurred at 10:30 p.m. (3:30 p.m. ET) in the Asian section
of the city shortly after two men chanting "Allah, Allah" wounded a security
guard at the building entrance and entered, said CNN Turk Correspondent Eyup
Karasakal.

> Police said a man identified as Abdullah Islam was among the wounded, and
may have been the bomber.

caused by two assailants who attacked a security guard and sprayed a meeting
room with gunfire before detonating some sort of explosive device.
>
> One of the attackers and a waiter working in the building have been
confirmed killed.
>
> "Two assailants shot the guard in his feet and raked the restaurant of the
lodge with gunfire, then detonated bombs," Guler told reporters.

with his arm ripped off and his guts spilled out," The Associated Press
reports.

smoke covered the air."

and other wounds.
