(10 Apr 2014) A bomb exploded outside a Bank of Greece building in central Athens before dawn on Thursday, causing some damage but no injuries.
The blast came hours before Greece was to return to the international bond markets for the first time in four years, and a day before German Chancellor Angela Merkel was to visit Athens.
The explosion was heard throughout the area, a largely commercial zone which is one of the Greek capital's most central, a few blocks away from the Greek parliament.
It was preceded by two anonymous calls to a news website and a newspaper warning that a bomb had been planted in a car outside the central bank building.
As dawn broke, television footage showed the charred remnants of a car in the middle of the street, with only two wheels still recognisable.
Debris was strewn around and forensic experts in white coveralls began combing through the blast site and inspecting the wreckage.
Greece has a long history of domestic militant groups who plant usually small bombs late at night that rarely cause injuries.
