ATHENS. Prime Minister George Papandreou has condemned an attack on the Greek parliament and vowed that "democracy will not be terrorised".No one was injured in Saturday night's blast and no damage was immediately reported, police said."This highly symbolic place for Greeks is not guarded and will not be," Citizens' Protection Minister Michalis Chryssohoidis said."We will not put Athens under a police regime; this is a free and open city."The explosion was preceded by a telephone call to the Eleftherotypia newspaper warning of the blast.Police evacuated the area, where passers-by normally stroll close to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
