[Iran Press TV Latest] A bomb explosion outside a JP Morgan bank in Athens has caused only minor damage and no injuries. No group has yet claimed responsibility for the time-bomb placed outside the offices of the second largest US bank by assets, located in the central district of Kolonaki, said a police official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
On Tuesday, shortly before the bombing, a local newspaper received a warning call and in turn immediately informed the police. The area was then cordoned off, and ambulances and fire engines were put on standby.
The explosion only damaged the door, furniture, and computers of the bank and smashed some windows but did not cause any casualties, the police official added.
A series of explosions, big and small, has rocked Greece since December 2008, when a teenager was killed by a policeman. The incident sparked the worst violence in the country in decades.
