An unknown person threw an explosive device, probably a hand grenade, at the United States embassy building in Podgorica, the capital of Montenegro, before blowing himself up, the government said on Thursday. A Reuters photographer in Podgorica said a police vehicle blocked the street where the embassy is located, adding that no damage was visible. “The US embassy in Podgorica advises US citizens there is an active security situation at the US embassy in Podgorica,” it said on its website. “Avoid the embassy until further notice.”Earlier, media in Montenegro had said the attack occurred minutes before midnight. Montenegro, the smallest of all former Yugoslav republics, was the 29th country to join Nato last May.
