Gunmen Fire Grenade at Manila Office Building

MANILA (Reuters) - Gunmen in the Philippines on Monday fired a rocket-propelled grenade and several bullets into a building that used to house offices of Petron Corp., the country's largest oil refiner.

Police said the attack was similar to one in April on the Manila headquarters of Pilipinas Shell Petroleum Corp, the Philippine unit of oil giant Royal Dutch/Shell, and could be related to recent hikes in fuel prices.

No one was injured in either attack and damage was minimal.

Police said the gunmen fired at the sixth floor of the Gencon Plaza building in Manila's financial district before dawn and then sped off in two taxis. The grenade punched a hole in one window and other panes were shattered by bullets.
