ATHENS - A homemade bomb exploded in the parking lot of a bank outside the Greek capital, damaging some 80 vehicles, a police source said yesterday.

The attack occurred shortly before midnight (2030 GMT) on Saturday in the parking lot of Piraeus Bank in Markopoulo east of Athens.

It led to a fire that authorities quickly brought under control, firefighters said. The bomb included three gas containers, police said.

Cars parked in the garage were those seized from customers indebted to the bank and were to be sold at auction.

Police were looking into whether the attack involved a revenge plot.
