BOMB EXPLODES AT ATHENS OFFICE OF JPMORGAN

Athens policemen seal off area

A bomb exploded Tuesday outside the Athens office of JPMorgan Chase, but no injuries were reported. The bombing comes as Greece has been under severe pressure due to the financial crisis. The country has been teetering under a mountain of debt and has been looking to wealthier nations for a bailout, lest all of the Europe fears a collapse. However, Germany is opposed such a bailout. According to Xinhua: "The blast occurred 30 minutes after an unidentified man made a warning call to a Greek daily newspaper, so police had time to evacuate the building. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack. Foreign economic targets are the main targets of attacks of terrorist groups operating in Greece for years. Terrorist attacks have been stepped up since December 2008, when a teenager was shot dead by police fire". For the Xinhua article go to http://bit.ly/aLzZRY . (Picture courtesy of Xinhua)
