Bomb attack; WORLD TODAY: GREECE.

A VAN bomb exploded outside the Athens Stock Exchange, slightly injuring a passer-by and causing extensive damage to the building and nearby cars, Greek police said.

A second bomb outside a government building in the northern city of Thessaloniki caused only minor damage.

Both attacks were preceded by anonymous warning calls to Greek media, but there was no claim of responsibility. Police said a Greek far-left militant group called Revolutionary Struggle, best known for firing a rocket at the US embassy in Athens in 2007, was suspected over the stock exchange blast.
