Bomb blast at stock exchange in Athens
The aftermath of the bomb blast outside the stock exchange in Athens, September 2 2009.
One person was injured, three cars destroyed and the building slightly damaged when a bomb exploded at the Hellenic Stock Exchange in Athens, Greece, on September 2 2009.
A warning was given by perpetrators shortly before the blast, media reports said. The bomb was hidden in a van that had been stolen.
Another bomb went off outside a government building in Thessaloniki, causing minor damage and no injuries, the BBC said.
According to the police, there is a connection between the two explosions, Bulgarian news agency Focus said.
The explosion in Thessaloniki was near the ministries of Macedonia and Trakya districts.
No one has taken the responsibility for the blasts. However, Greek police consider terrorist organisation Revolutionary Struggle as possibly responsible for the blast in Athens and "Conspiracy of Fiery Cores-Fraction of Nihilists" for the blast in Thessaloniki.

Valeri I am so impressed with you Bulgarians. You have reached enlightenment like Buddha.
What are you talking about? People are the same all over that area so don't think that you Bulgarians are something special.
You really believe that you are better than the others there. Such arrogance.
At least bombings in BG are of business/personal nature. I am so glad that our mentality isn't prone to ideological conviction any more. I think 50 years of ideology over self-interest, has cured us from such infliction.
I think corruption and self-enrichment is under-appreciated as a social quality. The biggest mass murders in history, didn't even have bank accounts - Hitler, Stalin and Mao.
What would the world look like, if all Hitler was interested in was fat Swiss account and tax evasion...
Oh dear!
tom must be a masochist to be in that "backwards coutry" four times.
This confirms what's true that Greece is one of the most backwards EU States.
Greece's infrastructure is horrible, its a very backwards EU State I have been to Greece many times in the last 4 years.
