Gunmen believed opposed to U.S. military support for Costa Rica fired at the presidential palace in San Jose from a passing car, officials said. President Luis Alberto Monge does not live in the building, and there were no reports of injuries. No one claimed responsibility, but officials said the attack could be related to leftist protests against the presence in Costa Rica of about 20 U.S. military trainers.
