Bombers target British Consulate
A small bomb, attributed to left-wing extremists, has exploded outside the British consulate in an Ecuadorian port.
The bomb detonated in Guayaquil on Monday night, capping a day of seven small blasts, including three in the capital, Quito.
Police said pamphlets spread by some of the small bombs carried the name of the so-called Group of People's Combatants.

In Indonesia, two volcanic eruptions are threatening surrounding populations.
Mount Bromo, a popular tourist attraction on Indonesia's main island of Java, spouted a huge plume of smoke and ash, prompting the government to move to its highest alert level. Ash is raining down on towns downwind of the eruption area, and there are reports of two deaths from falling rocks. Bromo last erupted 12 years ago, but caused no casualties.
