The International Olympic Committee (IOC) spokeswoman Giselle Davies said that the bombings outside an Athens police station on Wednesday was not connected with an Olympic venue.

"We're fully in the loop with the Greek authorities who are keeping us informed but they're the ones who are commenting on it.Obviously it's an incident which is not connected with an Olympic venue," Davies said.

Three timed bombs, preceded by an anonymous telephone warning, badly damaged the station in the central Athens district of Kalithea and slightly injured one policeman, on Wednesday, 100 days before the start of the Athens Olympic Games.

"We understand it's a relatively small incident," Davies said.

Davies said she thought some National Olympic Committees (NOCs) had discussed safety concerns in the wake of the attack, but that no formal approaches had been made by them to the IOC.

"We believe the matter is in hand with the Greek authorities. We will be monitoring as the day continues." she added.
