TEGUCIGALPA, July 26 (Xinhua) -- A fragmentation grenade exploded on Sunday in a building in the capital city, shortly after a pro-Zelaya meeting there. No casualties were reported.

The device went off inside a bathroom in the building of the Beverage Industry Workers Union just after a meeting of the National Front for Resistance Against the Coup, a group opposes the June 28 ouster of President Manuel Zelaya by the military.

Damage to the building was reported.

Juan Barahona, the group leader, said the group would not be scared by any form of intimidation and vowed to continue its fight against the coup leaders.

"The only responsible ones are the police. That bomb was to scare the people not to fight against the coup leaders," Barahona said.

1. Xinhua has had good coverage.

Hopefully when Zelaya is restored to power, he will switch relations to the PRC.
