Bomb goes off at JP Morgan offices in Athens
ATHENS (Reuters) - A bomb exploded outside the JP Morgan offices in Athens on Tuesday, causing minor damage to the building, police said.
There were no immediate reports of injuries. Police had cordoned off the area after a local newspaper received a warning call.
Police cars, ambulances and fire engines have blocked streets in the upmarket central district of Kolonaki, where JP Morgan's Greek offices are situated, a Reuters witness said.
"It was a time-bomb at JP Morgan's offices," a police official who declined to be named said. "The explosion damaged the outside door and smashed some windows."
No group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack, the official said.
