Gunmen shell Honduran Supreme Court building
MEXICO, November 26 (RIA Novosti) - Unidentified gunmen have fired grenades from portable launchers at the buildings of the Supreme Court and the Canal 10 television in the Honduran capital, Tegucigalpa, local police said.

No casualties have been reported and the buildings were only slightly damaged in the attack.

According to police spokesman Orlin Cerrato, the attack was planned to intimidate Honduran citizens on the eve of the presidential elections scheduled for November 29.

"The shelling of public buildings will not scare the people and will not hamper the presidential polls. We will take all necessary security measures to ensure the free expression of the will of the electorate," Cerrato said in an interview with the HRN radio on Wednesday.

The upcoming elections were announced by Roberto Micheletti's interim government following a protracted political crisis in the country, which was caused by the ouster of President Manuel Zelaya in June.

1. Expect more you cowards
If you continue to suppress the will of the majority you have only youselves to blame for the outcome. If you think the masses will accept suppression indefinitely you are sadly mistaken.
