ATHENS - An explosive device went off close to a bank in a shopping center near Athens on Sunday, lightly injuring two security staff and damaging stores, police said.
The explosion followed a spate of gun and makeshift bomb attacks on organizations, journalists and political figures in recent weeks, some claimed by groups angry about Greece's deep financial crisis.
