Bomb detonates near Acropolis
H/T Richard
A bomb has exploded near the Acropolis in central Athens causing damage but no injuries.
Apparently targeting the house of one of the country’s shipping magnates, the blast close to Greece’s most famous ancient monument occurred at about 8:30pm local time (6.30pm GMT), following a warning call to a Greek newspaper.
Police said an anonymous caller contacted a Greek daily at 8:10pm (6.10pm GMT), saying the bomb would explode at 8:30pm outside the home of shipowner Nikos Tsakos. Officers immediately evacuated the area.
The bomb had reportedly been left in a black backpack outside the entrance of the property.
Windows were shattered by the explosion and other damage caused, including to neighbouring buildings – but nobody was killed or injured.
Speaking from Athens, Sky News journalist Anthee Carassava said: “Police scrambled to the site, evacuated the area and the residence of a prominent shipowner, who appears to be the target of the attack.
“Bomb experts did not have time to detonate the bomb, which exploded only 20 minutes after the warning call – a very short time in which to react.”
Mr Tsakos was not at home at the time of the attack. One of his guards who was there managed to flee in time.
