a Small bomb blast near everywhereOct/ Nov 2005
small bombs exploded outside, causing some damage but no casualties, police said.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, which appeared to be a carbon copy of a bombing outside. The perpetrators of the previous blasts have not been identified.
"bombs exploded, it only shattered a few window panes & burnt holes in carpets" said a spokesman
An office worker at the building located on a street said the device had been placed in a trash can near the elevator on the 10th floor.
"It was like the previous time, funnily enough about a year ago... I heard a whizz, and then a bang....The glass entrance door was smashed and the office has been evacuated," he said.
In London, a spokesman said the bomb was a "percussion device ... designed to create more noise than damage".
He said staff were working as normal.
A spokesman said staff were on their way to the scene. "We are in contact with the affected. And we're not aware of any casualties," he said.
