From LA Herald Tribune</p>SANTIAGO – A bomb exploded early Thursday outside a Banco del Estado branch in Santiago, damaging the windows, Chilean police said.

The bomb went off around 1:30 a.m. at the bank’s Recoleta district office, located some two kilometers (1.2 miles) north of the La Moneda presidential palace.

The bomb, which was made from a fire extinguisher, started a small fire that was quickly put out by the fire department.


The attack was similar to Tuesday afternoon’s blast at a Banco de Credito e Inversiones branch inside a Marriott hotel in Santiago’s affluent Las Condes neighborhood that shattered windows and wounded a security guard.read more
