Bomb explodes in Athens in front of Greek government building

An explosive device exploded in front of the Greek Ministry of Labor, in the center of Athens, this Saturday morning (3), but caused no injuries, Greek police said.

A Greek newspaper received a call from an unknown person reporting that a bomb had been planted at the Ministry and informed police, who cordoned off the area before the explosion, which caused damage to the building and broke windows, police said.

The caller said a previously unknown guerrilla group was behind the attack, a police officer said on condition of anonymity.

Police have launched an investigation into the incident.

Greece has a history of political violence. Small bomb attacks and arson attacks are frequent and most of them do not cause serious damage.

However, the government said it was concerned about the incident.

“The attack is very serious and involves a serious crime,” government spokesman Pavlos Marinakis told broadcaster Open TV on Saturday.
