An ominous portent or strange sense of forboding
?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Bomb blasts rock central Athens
Three bombs have exploded near a police station in an Athens suburb
without causing any injuries, Greek police say.
The three blasts occurred within 45 minutes in a parking lot near the
police station in the southern Athens suburb of Kallithea.
According to state television channel NET, the adjacent police station
has suffered some damage.
An anonymous warning was issued ahead of the first explosion via a
phone call to an Athens newspaper.
Police believe the blasts were staggered in the hope that the second
and third bombs would injure policemen arriving on the scene after the
first explosion.
They gave no details of the nature of the bombs or the possible
identity of the bombers.
According to NET, at least one of the bombs seems to consist of
dynamite attached to a timer.
Senior police officials are inspecting the site of the blasts.
Last September a similar, double-bomb attack targeted an Athens court,
injuring one policeman.
Police also foiled dynamite attacks against Athens branches of US bank
Citibank and US insurer AIG late last year.
Local mafia gangs in Athens also occasionally attack rival groups with
explosives.
Greek security forces have been dismantling urban guerrilla groups,
arresting members of the extremist groups November 17 and ELA, in a
bid to boost security ahead of the Athens 2004 summer Olympics.
But in recent months, the country has seen a resurgence of low-level
urban violence with a string of firebomb attacks, mainly against
commercial bank branches.
Police believe such attacks are conducted by anarchist groups with no
capacity to stage large-scale operations.
Athens is planning a big security operation for the Olympics, which
begin in 100 days.
They will be the first Summer Olympic Games since the the September
11, 2001 terror attacks in the United States.
Athens has set aside more than 50,000 police and army personnel to
safeguard the Games and is spending over 650 million euros ($US780
million) on related security equipment.
The Federal Opposition is calling for a review of the Australian
travel advice for Greece.
Labor's Kevin Rudd says the bombings are a worrying development.
"I think it's important that the information be assessed
professionally and that Mr Downer's Department [of Foreign Affairs and
Trade] provide appropriate travel advice to the travelling public
based on the information they receive," Mr Rudd said.
