Two female assailants opened fire at the U.S. Consulate in Istanbul on Aug. 10, where a government crackdown has targeted Islamic State militants, Kurdish rebels and far-left extremists.

No one was hurt in the attack on the U.S. Consulate, which came just weeks after Turkey agreed to take a more active role in the U.S.-led campaign against the Islamic State group and to allow the U.S.-led coalition to use its bases.

Turkey's Foreign Ministry condemned the attack and said security at U.S. missions in the country had been increased. (AP)
