ATHENS - A car bomb blew up outside the Athens stock exchange yesterday, damaging the building extensively and slightly wounding one woman, in what police suspect was an attack by a leftist or anarchist group.
The Athens bourse opened normally, despite the blast, which blew out windows on several floors and hurled debris hundreds of metres away, setting eight vehicles ablaze.
Police said a homemade bomb exploded at the same time outside a government building in the northern city of Thessaloniki, causing minor damage but no injuries. It was not clear if the two attacks were connected. – (Reuters)
