Blast strikes UK consulate in US

Police say the grenades were probably detonated by hand
New York police are looking for clues as to who set off two explosive devices outside the building that houses the UK consulate in Manhattan.

The early morning blast shattered windows but did not cause any injuries.

The two devices, described by police as novelty hand-grenades packed with gunpowder, were put in a concrete flower tub in front of the building.

There were no witnesses, but New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said evidence from CCTV cameras was being checked.

3. Neo Cons on the move for Tony's election?
Tony is doing all he can to stay in power. He is using the "Bush campaign message". Keep them in fear and they will keep you in power.
