CNN) -- A small bomb exploded

Thursday night in the center of Athens, Greece, near the Ministry of

Development, slightly damaging nearby shops but causing no known casualties,

police said.

An anonymous caller contacted the newspaper Eleftherotypia a

half hour before the blast went off about 10:30 p.m. (3:30 p.m. ET) and warned of a bomb at the ministry, police said. It was not

known how the bomb was detonated.

There was no claim of responsibility for the incident, but

police said it did not appear to be the work of the Revolutionary Struggle,

believed to be a spin-off of the November 17 militant group that is considered

a terrorist organization by the U.S. State Department.

It was the third bombing at a government building in Athens since June, when there

was one at the Labor Ministry. The Revolutionary Struggle claimed

responsibility for a Dec. 12 blast at the National Economy Ministry that

injured three people.

Fifteen members of November 17 are appealing life sentences

for their roles in a 27-year string of killings of public and business

officials. Members of the group warned before their hearings began Dec. 2 that

there would be attacks and reprisals.
