Bomb Blast at Greek Public Sector Reform Ministry

A bomb exploded outside a Greek ministry responsible for axing 150,000 public sector jobs last night - apparently in protest at government spending cuts.

Windows were smashed and desks were damaged in the blast outside the Public Sector Reform Ministry in Athens.

The department are axeing 150,000 government posts by 2015 in an austerity drive.

The explosion happened just a day after protesters marching in memory of a man who killed himself over financial woes that he blamed on the government.
It's going to be a long, hot summer in Greece.
