Ecuador detains five after attack on President Noboa's car

QUITO (Reuters) -Ecuadorean President Daniel Noboa's car was surrounded by a group of around 500 people throwing rocks as he approached an event in Cañar province, a top minister said, adding that "signs of bullet damage" were found on the president's vehicle. Environment and Energy Minister Ines Manzano spoke on Tuesday after formally filing a report of an assassination attempt against Noboa. "Shooting at the president's car, throwing stones, damaging state property - that's just criminal," Manzano said.
