Local radio station Radio America and Channel 10 of Honduras report a terrorist attack onto radio station HRN. The attack was perpetrated by several men using fragmentation granades, but one granade bounced back to the attacker and exploded on his body, said moments ago a correspondent of the same radio.
Armed and dangerous... to themselves. Tossing grenades that blow themselves up.
LOL! Karma can be such a bitch sometimes. :-)
Chavez is a busy guy; wasn’t there a recent shooting incident at the Venezuela-Colombia border?
“The attack was perpetrated by several men using fragmentation granades, but one granade bounced back to the attacker and exploded on his body, said moments ago a correspondent of the same radio.”
Were they Polish terrorists?
No Link?
First hit of the title search is at DU?
Smells bad.
The story is developing now.
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.
A man’s gotta know his LIMITATIONS.

Honduras ping
that is the 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.
chavez said that armed groups would appear at the honduran mountains. I just wonder...
“Chavez said”
That lying Commie twerp.
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.
very strange to me, this is Z related. Months ago i heard an explosion near where i live, it was at the Lawyers association. Using granades too. Then a month ago shots. Maybe beause i live near Rafael Pineda Ponce, presidency minister or because the newspaper La Tribuna is a few blocks away, like 100 m from my house.
Re Were they Polish terrorists?”
No. Get it right. They were Amish terrorists, the southern Ohio kind.
Sheesh! Never seen “Witness”?
Of course its Z related. He will do everything to wreck elections which is coming very soon.
Fortunately the crappy White House deal worked out by Solis is going done into the latrine into a world of diarreah. But with that, we can expect upspikes of internal revolucionario insurgency, mostly Che types from the college campuses playing izquierdista revolutionaries up in the hills. Zelaya! Come out! Come out! Wherever you are!!
Best thing now is to arrest his ass once again, hold him in custody, run the clock out, and have the presidential elections scheduled for late November. Once that is done, aint nobody can stop the new post-Michelleti regime. STATE DEPARTMENT WILL GO NUCKING FUTS!!
Q: One assumes Porfirio Sosa of the National Party (conservative) will a) be the best choice for Honduras right now, and b) would be assumed winning since the Liberal Party cannot operate so openly if they are running Zelaya-type candidates, correct?
How can we, as private citizens in the USA and elsewhere, help Sosa if in fact this is the best candidate right now for Honduras and will stop Obamaism and Chavismo right there in Tegucigalpa?
We want to help the movement anywhere in the world where it is needed, to turn back the Red Tide.
My relative General Tibusio Carias Andino rid Honduras of the communist party
Was this TV station Pro and Anti Zalaya?
We cannot ignore the possibility of CIA involvement as part of the undermining effort since Obama is so hell-bent to take down the legitimate government.
Be careful..
Naaah! the CIA would not use a WWII grenade. I am sure you are right that Obozo has some “real” enemies within the ranks of the CIA agents.
So, is our idiot State Department going to condemn this? That’s a strictly rhetorical question, I know the Marxist in the White House isn’t going to. In fact, he’ll probably take advantage of it.
To repeat myself, I do not support the U.S. government’s policy with respect to Honduras.
And remember, dissent is patriotic.
The Honduran communist are getting desperate, the elections are drawing near and Zelaya still locked inside the embassy!
“Zelaya still locked inside the embassy!”
Good.
After another week, he may not want to come out of the Embassy and will simply “try” to sneak out of the country.

Re.: your #26: “My relative General Tibusio Carias Andino rid Honduras of the communist party”
Jolly good, then!; Salutes to your courageous relative!
If he’s not terribly busy down there at the moment, may we please borrow him for a while? We sure could use him!
I have a feeling that his techniques might be a little different from those of the American “Tea Party” movement... and a lot more effective, too.
Just speaking metaphorically, of course, he would find America to be a “Target rich environment” - and we have been for at least a couple of generations. Now, as you can plainly see, they have taken over our government and are perilously close to dragging our whole Country under the stifling cloak of tyranny.
If the 2010 elections are denied us or the communists manage to steal it, as they are so adept at doing, we may be seeing a lot of South American style ‘political activism’ up here.
Probably won’t be pretty. Stay tuned.
CIA?
Practicing up for FOX News?
It would appear that they’ve yet to perfect their tactics.
When I was in basic training in Ft. Gordon, GA back in 1967 being introduced to the noble hand grenade, they ran us through a simulated urban combat scenario with grenade simulators, which have the regular fuse but are only loaded with about an M-80s worth of charge and a vent hole in the bottom and I think a few on the sides. You do NOT want to have one go off in your hand regardless!
On one of the stages, we were supposed to run up to a “house” and lob our grenade in through a basement window. Well, doing my best John Wayne on Corrigador impression, I ran up, pulled the pin (we were not allowed to use our teeth like the Duke did) and gave it my best pitch for the window.
Well, I never played ball much as a kid, and it showed.
I missed the window by about 4 feet and the grenade bounced back to roll to a stop between my feet as I crouched under a tree. All I had time to do was jam my fingers in my ears and squinch my eyes shut as tight as i could.
After the gravel stopped raining down on me and my “steel pot” helmet stopped ringing like a Church bell, I dared to open my eyes and pop my fingers out of my ears.
There in the dissipating cloud of smoke stood my imposing DI, with his hands on his hips and a look of profound disappointment on his chiseled, VietNam hardened countenance.
Shaking his Smokey-Bear hat topped head slowly, he matter of factly stated in his rich Alabama drawl;
Clarkey; You could F*6& up a STEEEEEL BAWLLL with a RUUbber Hammer.”
“YES, SERGEANT!” i dutifully replied as I prepared to perform some push-ups.
He had me figured out fairly well I guess; that pretty much summed up the remainder of my limited military career.
Later, they made me a Clerk, which probably wasn’t such a bad idea. At least I learned to keystroke, which is why I can post so verbosely here. {8^{D~
