Explosion rocks central Athens

More bombings, this isn't good.

A massive explosion shook central Athens Monday morning, causing extensive damage to an area near the Finance Ministry and the central post office, a ministry spokesman said.

There were no reports of casualties.

A senior police source said investigators are treating the blast as if it were a terrorist attack and deem it "a very serious incident."

Authorities had advance notice of the blast as an anonymous warning call was placed at 5:30 a.m. local time to Eleftherotytia, a left wing newspaper, and were able to clear a four to five block area.

"Strong explosion in 40 minutes. This is not a farce," the caller said, according to the newspaper. The paper received a second call 10 minutes later, pinpointing the location of the blast along Mitropoulos, a central Athens street.

Oh how cute, a terrorist with a conscience. At least no one was hurt. One question though. What has Greece done to anyone? That's like setting off a bomb in Iceland.
