U.S. Ambasador to Venezuela attacked with fruits and vegetables

US is threatening retaliation if it happens again.

(excuse me for a moment while I laugh out loud.)

Tomatoes of mass destruction? Nuclear Squash? God help us all!

U.S. Says Venezuela Complicit in Attack - Yahoo! News:

"Undersecretary of State Nicholas Burns summoned Venezuelan Ambassador Bernardo Alvarez to the State Department and told him that Venezuela was in violation of an international treaty that requires the host countries to ensure the safety of foreign diplomats, department spokesman Sean McCormack said.

The incident 'clearly was condoned by the local government,' McCormack said.

Pro-government activists bombarded Brownfield's car with fruit and vegetables and a group of motorcyclists chased the convoy, at times pummeling the vehicles with their fists."
