The embassy security picked the grenade up, Pulled the pin, and threw it back.  In the explosion the terrorist was killed.

Police said in a statement earlier that an assailant threw a bomb into the embassy yard and then committed suicide by activating another one around midnight Wednesday.

The blast created a crater but caused no other material damage to the embassy property, the statement said. The embassy said Thursday all staff were safe and accounted for after the incident.

I adore facts and data and abhor lies and liars.

Serb Who Attacked U.S. Embassy In Montenegro Was Pro-Russian, Ex-Yugoslav Soldier

Police in Montenegro have identified the man who carried out a hand-grenade attack against the U.S. Embassy in Podgorica as Dalibor Jaukovic, a Serbian-born Kosovo war veteran.

Jaukovic was a member of the Yugoslav armed forces in the late 1990s when the United States launched 78 days of air strikes against Serbia to bring an end to the 1998-1999 Kosovo war.

We bombed them during the Clinton administration. Above it states the US did, I thought NATO did, I thought Tony Blair and the Brits got involved as well.

There have been some bad hombres like Arkan in those Yugoslav wars; but that was a pretty over-the-top reaction.

They are trying people all the time still over war crimes and crimes on all sides.
