Officials say that the militants threw explosives at the Consulate gate and then exchanged gunfire with the guards. A spokesperson claims that many third country nationals had been taken hostage for sometime but had been released. They suffered minor wounds. Also they believe that the militants threw grenades so the attackers could storm the consulate. They used the grenades as diversions.
