( 2003-07-20 12:32) (Agencies)
Two explosions overnight at the tax and customs office in the French Riviera
city of Nice injured 11 people and damaged buildings nearby, police said on
Sunday.
Police said those hurt were taken to hospital but described their injuries as
slight.
The explosions occurred at around 2:30 a.m (0030 GMT) and caused substantial
damage to the tax and customs office itself, and shattered windows in nearby
buildings in the city centre.
Police said no group had claimed responsibility for the explosions.
Authorities several months ago thwarted a plot by a militant separatist Corsican
group to attack the same building.
