Small Makeshift Bomb Explosed Outside Greek Bank

(Reuters) - A small makeshift bomb exploded outside a branch of Greece's second largest lender, Eurobank, in central Athens early on Saturday, causing no injuries or serious damage, a police official said.

The device consisted of two gas canisters but only one of them blew up, blackening the shutters of the branch, the official said.
