Grenade thrown at building with Honduran ballots
2009-11-14
Assailants hurled a grenade at the building housing ballots for the upcoming Honduran presidential elections, which are taking place under the shadow of a four-month crisis caused by a coup.

The grenade exploded 550 yards (500 meters) from the building, and there were no damages.

Police spokesman Orlin Cerrato said Friday "the intention was to destroy election material to sabotage the elections." The attack happened Thursday night.

Ousted President Manuel Zelaya is urging the international community not to recognize the Nov. 29 election if he is not reinstated beforehand.

The government that took power in the June 28 judicial order coup is hoping the election will end the country's diplomatic isolation.
