Protesters Throw Explosives at Banks in Oaxaca, Mexico

“Protesters threw explosives at two banks in Oaxaca on Monday, shattering windows and further raising tensions in this once-charming colonial city.

The attacks on the banks by the previously unknown group called the Armed Revolutionary Organization for the People of Oaxaca follow months of violence in Oaxaca city, where protesters have set up street barricades and taken the city center. The explosions damaged the banks’ facades, but caused little other damage, city official Eliodoro Diaz said.”
