'bombs explode'

02-11-2005 11:32

a Small bomb blast near everywhere

Oct/ 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.

Nguyen Tuong Van, 25
Drug trafficking cannot be condoned, but neither can the death penalty. The death penalty violates the most basic of human rights - the right to life - and is a cruel and inhumane form of punishment.

02-11-2005 00:01

The price of allowing David Blunkett to stay on in the Tiny Blair cabinet despite latest details about Bplunkett's improper behaviour may be to let Blair mount the one attack that he has been unable to do so far: to really violate the people in poverty in a frontal onslaught on all sort of rights that so many people fouight so hard to establish over the past 100 years
