Bomb damages courthouse in south Italy; no injuries

A powerful homemade bomb exploded on Sunday outside a courthouse in the southern Italian city of Reggio Calabria, home to one of Italy's most feared crime groups, seriously damaging its entrance but causing no injuries.

Police sources said the device, composed of explosives on top of a gas canister, detonated in the early hours of Sunday morning when there were no passersby. Authorities are examining the remains of the bomb but so far have no theory as to who is responsible, the sources said. (Reuters)
