ATHENS (Reuters) – An explosion ripped through the U.S. embassy compound in central Athens on Friday, a police source said.

It was not clear what caused the blast and there was no immediate word on whether there were any casualties.

Police cordoned off all roads around the embassy.

Police officials at the scene said that whatever caused the explosion damaged the official embassy sign outside the mission, but there was little other indication of the extent of damage inside.

    Wonder who will cop the blame for this! Oil price seems to be pointing in the right direction too. Warm winter? Seems it might be!

    Since BushCo didn’t instantly start to dole out blame to someone like Iran or Syria, I’m tempted to think this blast was not self inflicted. Interesting.
