Bomb hits Athens stock exchange

A bomb has exploded outside the Athens stock exchange, slightly injuring a female passer-by and damaging the building, police say. The blasts may be the work of a group called the Revolutionary Struggle, says the BBC's Malcolm Brabant in Athens. Earlier this year the group claimed responsibility for two bombs aimed at the American Citibank group. In a letter the Revolutionary Struggle had promised more attacks against economic targets. It said: "We need to rid ourselves for good of all the scum of economic and political power so that humanity can free itself from these criminals." Greece has been dogged by unrest since police shot a teenager dead last December.
