[01] Bomb at Press Secretariat
[01] Bomb at Press Secretariat
An explosive device that police described as "medium-strength" went off
shortly before midnight on Friday outside the General Secretariat for
Press building in the Athens district of Neos Kosmos, at the junction
of Fragoudi and Al. Pandou streets.
It had been preceded by two warning phone calls to television stations,
which gave police time to cordon off the area and avoid any injuries as
a result of the blast.
This caused significant damage to the back of the building, however,
shattered the plate glass windows in the entrance and damaged ceilings,
as well as cars parked outside and two adjoining shops.
