Armed and dangerous... to themselves. Tossing grenades that blow themselves up.

Chavez is a busy guy; wasn’t there a recent shooting incident at the Venezuela-Colombia border?

Were they Polish terrorists?

Clarifying the story: The anti-Bomb squad has just evacuated all the employees form the radio. The radio is off air now. The incident of the attacker that blew himself was NOT at the radio moments ago, it was in a second terrorist attack onto the candidate for mayou in the town of San Buenaventura.

A bomb explodes in HRN

Home, Home National November 4, 2009

hrn-250TEGUCIGALPA .- The capital’s radio station HRN was firebombed last night at around 10:30 pm wounded one of our attendants, Alejandro Salgado, according to preliminary police report.

11:00 pm, police had not determined what type of bomb that blew up on the roof of the cab of the radio station nor the perpetrators of the attack.

At that time was the journalist Andres Torres, making his usual late-night show “Andres at 10” along with Abilio Reyes, who came forward to cut off transmission after the event.

The police bomb squad moves to hear her if there was more explosive and the press time, only property damage were reported, as the Red Cross reported that the operator was injured but not seriously.

Thanks.

The bomb, as the anti bomb squad said, was a M36 fragmentation granade.

There is no doubt there are terrorists in Honduras. Some are probably connected with Zelaya.

Recently the newphew of Micheletti was murdered execution style. And an Army Colonel was also killed.

And a prominent businessman kidnapped.

Coincidence with the election dispute? I doubt it.

You know there have always been attacks on radio stations in Honduran history. There have been attacks on radio hosts while the radio host was still on the air.
