Bomb explodes outside Greek parliament | Europe

A makeshift bomb has exploded outside Greece's parliament on Saturday evening, January 9, causing no injuries and minor damage. The explosion occurred in the heart of Athens, close to the finance ministry and the city's best hotels. "This was an unprecedented act of terrorism against the Greek people," said government spokesman George Petalotis. This blast followed another bomb attack outside the headquarters of Greece's biggest insurer, National Insurance, on December 27. Fire Conspiracy Cells, a leftist guerrilla group, claimed responsibility for the December attack. Police believe they may also be responsible for Saturday's blast.
