Bomb rocks Greek courthouse amid foreclosures row

A bomb exploded early Friday outside one of Greece's main courthouses, causing material damage but no injuries, with police suspecting a far-left group of setting it off to protest property foreclosures sought by debt-laden banks.

Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said the country would "not be terrorised by bullets, bombs or hoods" as judges



also vowed not to be cowed.

"Judges and prosecutors are focused on their constitutional duty and are not discouraged by such criminal acts," the judges association said.

The explosion occurred at 0125 GMT outside the Athens appeals court after calls warning of a bomb were made to media outlets, police said.
