A small bomb has exploded outside the Greek parliament in one of the busiest areas of the capital, Athens.

The blast blew out some of the parliament building's windows but no-one was injured in the attack, blamed on left-wing militant groups.

Police were able to clear the area around the building after receiving a 15-minute warning ahead of the blast.

The bomb was placed in a rubbish bin close to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, in Constitution Square.
