MEXICO CITY — An attacker threw an explosive device over the wall around the U.S. consulate in the border city of Nuevo Laredo, breaking windows and startling employees inside but causing no injuries, the U.S. Embassy said Saturday.

The attack, which took place about 11:30 p.m. Friday, is under investigation, embassy spokesman Claude Young said.

Nuevo Laredo, across the Rio Grande River from Laredo, and other cities have seen increased violence in recent weeks as powerful Mexican drug cartels battle over control of lucrative trafficking along the border.

U.S. State Department employees in the area had not been victimized until last month.

3. Isn's that the grandson of Cuban US supported dictator Fulgensio Batista

standing beside _{Jeb Bush?} Raoul Cantero was made a member of the Florida Supreme Court, placed there by _{Jeb Bush,} even though he has NO useful experience for the job.

Small world, isn't it? Here's his grandfather, the torture-loving, death-squad using Fulgencio Batista with one of his cabinet members, former Speaker of the House, Rafael Diaz-Balart, father of U.S. Florida Congressmen, Lincoln and Mario Diaz-Balart, good friends also of _{Jeb Bush.} Rafael Diaz-Balart was originally an attorney for the United Fruit Company in Cuba, with which Prescott Bush was closely connected, and of which George H. W. Bush was a major stockholder when United Fruit changed its name to "Chiquita."
