[01] Bomb blast at central Athens building
A makeshift bomb went off at 23:01 on Sunday night in the Athens
district of Neos Kosmos. The explosion targeted the Ethniki Asfalistiki
building on Galaxia Street off Syngrou Avenue, which houses a branch of
National Bank of Greece on the ground floor.
An unidentified caller called the newspaper "Eleftherotypia" at 22:46
on Sunday and warned that the bomb would go off in the building within
15 minutes.
There were no injuries as a result of the blast because the police
managed to cordon off the area but there was extensive damage.
Anti-terrorism squad officers are now on the scene conducting an
investigation, with a forensics team.
