Reuters UK:
A small makeshift bomb exploded on Monday outside a branch of a Greek ministry tasked with cutting 150,000 public sector jobs by 2015, causing damage but not injuries, police said.
The bomb was made of at least five gas canisters, police said.
Greece's coalition government, led by technocrat Prime Minister Lucas Papademos, denounced that attack as an attempt to destabilise the country ahead of national elections expected on May 6.
Gas canister attacks on police and businesses are frequent in Greece.
