A homemade bomb exploded in Athens on Friday at the offices of a Greek magazine causing minor damage and no casualties, police said. 

The device, composed of four small gas canisters, went off just before 9:00 am (0800 GMT) at the entrance to Nemesis magazine in the centre of the capital. 

The magazine is edited by a well-known Greek communist parliamentarian and journalist Liana Kanellis, police said. 

A group calling itself "The Children of November" claimed responsibility for the attack in a telephone call to a Greek newspaper. 

The group, which police describe as anarchist, has carried out a series of minor bomb attacks against leading Greek politicians since 1999, causing minor damage in each case -- ATHENS (AFP)
