Greece – Small bomb explodes at Greek offices of Israeli shipping firm Zim

ZIM offices in Piraeus, Greece

Piraeus – A makeshift explosive device went off Wednesday morning outside the Greek offices of shipping company Zim, Israel’s main container shipping line, local police sources said.

Minor damage was caused by the blast in the port city of Piraeus, they added. No injuries were reported.

Two gas canisters were used in the pre-dawn blast which caused slight material damage to a wall and a fuse panel, according to a police source.

The unknown attackers threw leaflets reading “Free Palestine” at the scene of the attack.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the bomb.

Greek leftists and anarchists, most of whom are staunchly pro-Palestinian, have gained a reputation over the decades for using small-scale explosives to vandalize targets.
