Bomb explodes in Greek port

A homemade bomb rocked the Greek port of Piraeus today, damaging buildings and cars but causing no injuries, police said.

It was unclear whether the attack directed against ship-repair company DT Marine, the latest in a string of bombings of businesses, was politically or criminally motivated.

Greece's anti-terrorism squad was investigating the blast which damaged eight cars and three adjacent buildings.

There has been a string of bombing attacks against domestic and foreign businesses in Greece since widespread rioting in December sparked by the police killing of a teenager.
