A man was killed after he tried to throw a grenade over the walls of the US embassy in Montenegro in the early hours of Thursday, a State Department official said.

There is no information on the man's motive at this stage, Goldstein said.
On its official Twitter account, the Montenegro government said an unknown person had "committed suicide with an explosive device" in front of the US embassy shortly after midnight.
