ANKARA, June 11: A Turk hurled two hand grenades at the US consulate in the southern city of Adana on Wednesday — allegedly to protest at Israel’s crackdown on Palestinian militants — causing an explosion but no injuries, officials said.

The assailant, who threw the grenades after being stopped at a security checkpoint, was immediately detained by police and admitted responsibility for the attack, Adana Governor Kemal Onal said on NTV television. “There is no damage and no injuries,” the governor said.—AFP
