Three separate grenade attacks took place in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, including one which detonated 150 meters from the US Consulate, according to the Mexican daily Milenio

One unidentified guard was wounded Friday evening when a hand grenade was thrown into the parking garage of Offices of the Poder Judicial de la Federacion near the intersection of Avenida Constitucion and Cuauhtemoc.

A hand grenade was thrown at a guard booth at the entrance to the parking garage.

Reports suggest more than one individual was hurt in the attack, but only the guard was confirmed wounded. Damage was limited to the parking booth.

A second attack took place at about 2300 hrs on Avenida Constitucion approximately 150 meters from the US Consulate. US officials do not think their facility was the target of the attack. No one was reported hurt in the attack and damage was limited.

The third attack took place at about 2330 hrs near the intersection of Avenida Aztlan and Calle Palacio de Justicia where a hand grenade detonated near the personal vehicle of a prison official.

A Volkswagen was damaged in the attack. Reports do not name the official whose car was damaged only that he is the warden of the Topo Chico Centro de Readaptacion Social (CERESO).

The last hand grenade attack in Monterrey was a double attack against a convenience store and a nightspot in Monterrey September 19th. Two individuals were reported hurt in one of the attacks.
