Bomb attack on 'Chryssi Avghi' office in Athens, no injuries

   

    A bomb exploded early Friday morning at the 5th-floor office of the "Chryssi Avghi" (Golden Dawn) ultra-right youth organisation off downtown Omonia Square in Athens, causing damage but no injury as the area had been cordoned off by police following a warning call to an Athens daily.

    The bomb exploded at 8:46 a.m., and 22 minutes earlier, at 8:24 a.m., an anonymous caller telephoned Eleftherotypia newspaper warning that "A bomb has been placed at 48 Socratous street, on the 5th floor at the Chryssi Avghi offices" and will explode in 25 minutes. The caller urged that the building be evacuated as well as Socratous street and an adjacent hotel.

    Police were immediately alerted, who cordoned off the area.

    The explosion caused material damage to the Chryssi Avghi offices and the building, and broke windows in surrounding buildings.

    According to early reports by police, the bomb had a time mechanism, and had been left in the hallway of the 5th floor.

    Security Police bomb disposal experts and counter-terrorism squad officers are conducting an on-the-spot investigation.

    No organisation immediately claimed responsibility for the attack.
