Britain's honorary consulate in the southeastern Ecuadorian port city of Guayaquil was attacked by a grenade thrower, but no injuries or deaths were caused, Ecuadorian police said on Monday.

The police said the home-made grenade was thrown at the British consulate earlier in the morning. The blast damaged buildings of the consulate.

Following the explosion, police strengthened security around the consulate and made further investigations. British honorary consul in Guayaquil, Colin Armstrong, told local media he believed the attack was perpetrated by a local radical organization opposed to British participation in the United States-led war in Iraq, which entered its 6th day on Monday.
