STORY: A small group of protesters hurled paint bombs and daubed graffiti on the facade of the U.S consulate in Bolivia's Santa Cruz on Thursday amid controversy over the flight diversion of President Evo Morales on suspicion U.S. spy agency contractor Edward Snowden was on board.
Snowden was not on the flight and leftist leaders from Latin America have roundly condemned the incident, demanding full explanations from the European nations which banned Morales' plane from entering their airspace.
The protesters burned U.S. flags and those of France, Portugal, Spain and Italy.
