Three dead after fire - bomb hits bank during Greek <m> riots </m>
A FIRE - BOMB attack on a bank in Athens left at least three people dead as police fought pitched battles with striking protesters furious at brutal spending cuts designed to avoid national bankruptcy .
Hooded youths hurled petrol bombs at stores and businesses in the Greek capital , setting the bank and two government buildings ablaze .
Protesters also tried to storm the Greek Parliament and the rioting spread to Greece's second city , Thessaloniki .
Police said at least three people , a man and two women , were killed in the fire - bomb attack .
Firefighters said as many as 20 people had been inside the bank .
It was unclear if the dead were customers or bank employees .
Two buildings , one used by tax officials and another by regional authorities , also caught fire .
Greek President Carolos Papoulias condemned the violence , saying the debt - hit country had "reached the edge of the abyss" .
"Our country has reached the edge of the abyss .
It is the responsibility of us all to not take the step into the void .
"What is at stake in coming days is to keep social cohesion and social peace . "
Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou said the firebombing was a "raw murderous act" .
Athens underground stations were shuttered and the international airport deserted as tens of thousands of union members rallied on the eve of a vote in parliament on the planned cuts and tax hikes .
The general strike was the first major test of the Socialist government's resolve to push through unprecedented measures since agreeing a ����110 billion ( $158 billion ) EU and IMF debt bailout over the weekend .
Prime Minister George Papandreou's insistence that the measures are vital for the nation's survival failed to dissuade unions from paralysing public transport , grounding air traffic and preventing ferries from leaving docks .
After rallying in two separate demonstrations in central Athens , members of the main unions began converging on parliament , where the Government was preparing for the measures to be voted on Thursday . |

`` That person is dangerous and needs to be found as soon as possible , '' said Oregon State Police Lt. Gregg Hastings .
The explosion occurred Friday afternoon at a West Coast Bank branch office in the agricultural town of Woodburn .
Police went to check on a telephoned bomb treat received by a nearby Wells Fargo branch bank and found a suspicious device , but that device turned out to be harmless .
But police said the investigation led them to the nearby West Coast office where the bomb was found by a bank employee in the bushes outside the building , and it exploded after officers took it inside .
Hastings did not know why the officers took it inside .
Police Capt. Tom Tennant and state Senior Trooper William Hakim , both 51 , died at the scene .
Police Chief Scott Russell , 46 , was injured and was in stable but critical condition .
The inside of the bank suffered extensive damage , and a female employee was treated at a hospital and released , police said .
Another bank employee was uninjured .
Police had no motive for the bombing and could offer no details about the bomb other than to say it was as powerful . |

Three die in bank during Greek riots
Updated 5 / 5 / 2010 1 : 41 PM
Riots over harsh new austerity measures left three bank workers dead and engulfed the streets of Athens on Wednesday , as angry protesters tried to storm parliament , hurled Molotov cocktails at police and torched buildings .
Police responded with barrages of tear gas .
Tens of thousands of people took to the streets in a nationwide strike to protest new taxes and government spending cuts demanded by the International Monetary Fund and other European nations before heavily indebted Greece gets a euro110 billion ( $141 billion ) loan package to keep it from defaulting .
The three bank <m> workers </m> a man and two women died after demonstrators set their bank on fire along the main demonstration route in central Athens .
As their colleagues sobbed in the street , five other bank workers were rescued from the balcony of the burning building .
"A demonstration is one thing and murder is quite another ! " Prime Minister George Papandreou thundered in Parliament during a session to discuss the spending cuts he announced Sunday measures even the IMF has called draconian .
Lawmakers held a minute of silence for the dead the first deaths during a protest in Greece since 1991 .
"We are all concerned by Greece's economic and budgetary situation but at this time our thoughts are with the human victims in Athens , " European Union President Herman Van Rompuy said in Brussels .
A senior fire department official said demonstrators prevented firefighters from reaching the burning building , costing them vital time .
"Several crucial minutes were lost , " the official said , visibly upset .
"If we had intervened earlier , the loss of life could have been prevented . "
He asked not to be identified pending an official announcement .
In Berlin , German Chancellor Angela Merkel called the Greek bailout critical for all of Europe .
"Nothing less than the future of Europe , and with that the future of Germany in Europe , is at stake , " Merkel told lawmakers in Berlin , urging them to quickly pass the country's share of the bailout euro22 billion ( $28 billion ) over three years by Friday .
"We are at a fork in the road . "
Greece faces a May 19 due date on debt it says it can't repay without the help .
In Brussels , European Union officials desperately tried to calm market fears that Greece's debt crisis was spreading to the rest of Europe , insisting it was a "unique case" combining profligacy and tampered accounts .
Van Rompuy insisted the growing debt problems in Spain and Portugal had "absolutely nothing to do with the situation in Greece . "
"Greece is a unique and particular case in the EU" because of its "precarious debt dynamics" and because it "has cheated with its statistics for years and years , " EU Commissioner Olli Rehn said .
But Moody's Investor Services , a major ratings agency , put Portugal's bond rating on review for possible downgrade Wednesday .
Spanish and Portuguese bonds and stocks slumped further on the news , reflecting fears that they may also have trouble repaying their debt and that the eurozone would have to extend even larger bailouts to them .
On the streets of Athens , demonstrators chanted "Thieves , thieves ! " as they attempted to break through a riot police cordon guarding Parliament and chased ceremonial guards away from the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in front of the building .
Tear gas drifted across the city center as rioters hurled paving stones and fire bombs at police .
Firefighters extinguished blazes at least two buildings the bank and a branch of the Finance Ministry while protesters set up burning barricades and torched cars and a fire truck .
Police said 12 people were injured in the riots .
The marches came amid a 24 - hour nationwide general strike that grounded all flights to and from Greece , shut down ports , schools and government services , and left hospitals working with emergency medical staff .
The Acropolis and all other ancient sites were closed and journalists also walked off the job , suspending television and radio news broadcasts .
But media later broke the strike to report on the deaths and the protests .
Violence also broke out in the northern city of Thessaloniki , where another 20 , 000 people marched through the city center and some youths smashed store windows .
Union reaction over austerity measures until now had been relatively muted by Greece's volatile standards , despite several previous strikes .
But anger mounted after Papandreou announced cuts in salaries and pensions for civil servants and another round of consumer tax increases .
Papandreou said he has no choice but to implement the measures if Greece was to avoid bankruptcy .
"There was only one other solution for the country to default , taking the citizenry with it .
And that would not have affected the rich , it would have affected workers and pensioners , " he told Parliament on Wednesday .
"That was a real possibility , however nightmarish . "
Under the bailout package , Greece will receive loans over three years from the IMF and the other 15 countries who share the euro currency .
The rescue aims to prevent Athens' debt troubles from becoming a wider crisis for the euro .
But the rioting underlined skepticism that the Greek government could keep up its end of the bargain , helping drive the euro below $1 . 29 for the first time in over a year .
Even with the bailout , many economists think Greece will eventually default on or restructure its debts because its prospects for economic growth are so poor over the next several years , hurting government revenue .
Some fear the austerity measures insisted upon by the EU and IMF could make prospects for growth even worse .
Unions say low - income Greeks will suffer disproportionately from the latest austerity measures , which aim to save euro30 billion ( $40 billion ) the country's current budget deficit through 2012 .
"These people are losing their rights , they are losing their future , " said Yiannis Panagopoulos , head of GSEE , one of the two largest unions .
"The country cannot surrender without a fight . "
IMF chief Dominique Strauss - Kahn warned that the crisis could spread to other countries despite the rescue package's efforts to contain it .
"Everyone must remain extremely vigilant" to this risk , Strauss - Kahn said in an interview in French newspaper Le Parisien Wednesday .
"I completely understand the Greek population's anger , its incomprehension at the size of the economic catastrophe , " Strauss - Kahn said .
But , he said , Greeks must also understand that without these measures "the situation would be infinitely more serious . "
The draft bill of the new austerity measures is to be voted on Thursday .
Papandreou's Socialists hold a comfortable majority of 160 in the 300 - seat Parliament and the bill is expected to pass easily . |

But the rioting underlined skepticism that the Greek government could keep up its end of the bargain , helping drive the euro below $1 . 29 for the first time in over a year .
Even with the bailout , many economists think Greece will eventually default on or restructure its debts because its prospects for economic growth are so poor over the next several years , hurting government revenue .
Some fear the austerity measures insisted upon by the EU and IMF could make prospects for growth even worse .
Unions say low - income Greeks will suffer disproportionately from the latest austerity measures , which aim to save euro30 billion ( $40 billion ) the country's current budget deficit through 2012 .

"The country cannot surrender without a fight . "
IMF chief Dominique Strauss - Kahn warned that the crisis could spread to other countries despite the rescue package's efforts to contain it .
"Everyone must remain extremely vigilant" to this risk , Strauss - Kahn said in an interview in French newspaper Le Parisien Wednesday .
"I completely understand the Greek population's anger , its incomprehension at the size of the economic catastrophe , " Strauss - Kahn said .
But , he said , Greeks must also understand that without these measures "the situation would be infinitely more serious . "
The draft bill of the new austerity measures is to be voted on Thursday .
Papandreou's Socialists hold a comfortable majority of 160 in the 300 - seat Parliament and the bill is expected to pass easily . |

Updated 5 / 5 / 2010 1 : 41 PM
Riots over harsh new austerity measures left three bank workers dead and engulfed the streets of Athens on Wednesday , as angry protesters tried to storm parliament , hurled Molotov cocktails at police and torched buildings .
Police responded with barrages of tear gas .
Tens of thousands of people took to the streets in a nationwide strike to protest new taxes and government spending cuts demanded by the International Monetary Fund and other European nations before heavily indebted Greece gets a euro110 billion ( $141 billion ) loan package to keep it from defaulting .
The three bank workers a man and two women died after demonstrators set their bank on fire along the main demonstration route in central Athens .
As their colleagues sobbed in the street , five other bank workers were rescued from the balcony of the burning building .
"A demonstration is one thing and murder is quite another ! " Prime Minister George Papandreou thundered in Parliament during a session to discuss the spending cuts he announced Sunday measures even the IMF has called draconian .
Lawmakers held a minute of silence for the dead the first deaths during a protest in Greece since 1991 .
"We are all concerned by Greece's economic and budgetary situation but at this time our thoughts are with the human victims in Athens , " European Union President Herman Van Rompuy said in Brussels .
A senior fire department official said demonstrators prevented firefighters from reaching the burning building , costing them vital time .
"Several crucial minutes were lost , " the official said , visibly upset .
"If we had intervened earlier , the loss of life could have been prevented . "
He asked not to be identified pending an official announcement .
In Berlin , German Chancellor Angela Merkel called the Greek bailout critical for all of Europe .
"Nothing less than the future of Europe , and with that the future of Germany in Europe , is at stake , " Merkel told lawmakers in Berlin , urging them to quickly pass the country's share of the bailout euro22 billion ( $28 billion ) over three years by Friday .
"We are at a fork in the road . "
Greece faces a May 19 due date on debt it says it can't repay without the help .
In Brussels , European Union officials desperately tried to calm market fears that Greece's debt crisis was spreading to the rest of Europe , insisting it was a "unique case" combining profligacy and tampered accounts .
Van Rompuy insisted the growing debt problems in Spain and Portugal had "absolutely nothing to do with the situation in Greece . "

In Brussels , European Union officials desperately tried to calm market fears that Greece's debt crisis was spreading to the rest of Europe , insisting it was a "unique case" combining profligacy and tampered accounts .
Van Rompuy insisted the growing debt problems in Spain and Portugal had "absolutely nothing to do with the situation in Greece . "
"Greece is a unique and particular case in the EU" because of its "precarious debt dynamics" and because it "has cheated with its statistics for years and years , " EU Commissioner Olli Rehn said .
But Moody's Investor Services , a major ratings agency , put Portugal's bond rating on review for possible downgrade Wednesday .
Spanish and Portuguese bonds and stocks slumped further on the news , reflecting fears that they may also have trouble repaying their debt and that the eurozone would have to extend even larger bailouts to them .
On the streets of Athens , demonstrators chanted "Thieves , thieves ! " as they attempted to break through a riot police cordon guarding Parliament and chased ceremonial guards away from the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in front of the building .
Tear gas drifted across the city center as rioters hurled paving stones and fire bombs at police .
Firefighters extinguished blazes at least two buildings the bank and a branch of the Finance Ministry while protesters set up burning barricades and torched cars and a fire truck .
Police said 12 people were injured in the riots .
The marches came amid a 24 - hour nationwide general strike that grounded all flights to and from Greece , shut down ports , schools and government services , and left hospitals working with emergency medical staff .
The Acropolis and all other ancient sites were closed and journalists also walked off the job , suspending television and radio news broadcasts .
But media later broke the strike to report on the deaths and the protests .
Violence also broke out in the northern city of Thessaloniki , where another 20 , 000 people marched through the city center and some youths smashed store windows .
Union reaction over austerity measures until now had been relatively muted by Greece's volatile standards , despite several previous strikes .
But anger mounted after Papandreou announced cuts in salaries and pensions for civil servants and another round of consumer tax increases .
Papandreou said he has no choice but to implement the measures if Greece was to avoid bankruptcy .
"There was only one other solution for the country to default , taking the citizenry with it .
And that would not have affected the rich , it would have affected workers and pensioners , " he told Parliament on Wednesday .
"That was a real possibility , however nightmarish . "
Under the bailout package , Greece will receive loans over three years from the IMF and the other 15 countries who share the euro currency .
The rescue aims to prevent Athens' debt troubles from becoming a wider crisis for the euro .
But the rioting underlined skepticism that the Greek government could keep up its end of the bargain , helping drive the euro below $1 . 29 for the first time in over a year .
Even with the bailout , many economists think Greece will eventually default on or restructure its debts because its prospects for economic growth are so poor over the next several years , hurting government revenue .
Some fear the austerity measures insisted upon by the EU and IMF could make prospects for growth even worse .
Unions say low - income Greeks will suffer disproportionately from the latest austerity measures , which aim to save euro30 billion ( $40 billion ) the country's current budget deficit through 2012 .
"These people are losing their rights , they are losing their future , " said Yiannis Panagopoulos , head of GSEE , one of the two largest unions .
"The country cannot surrender without a fight . "
IMF chief Dominique Strauss - Kahn warned that the crisis could spread to other countries despite the rescue package's efforts to contain it .
"Everyone must remain extremely vigilant" to this risk , Strauss - Kahn said in an interview in French newspaper Le Parisien Wednesday .
"I completely understand the Greek population's anger , its incomprehension at the size of the economic catastrophe , " Strauss - Kahn said .
But , he said , Greeks must also understand that without these measures "the situation would be infinitely more serious . "
The draft bill of the new austerity measures is to be voted on Thursday .
Papandreou's Socialists hold a comfortable majority of 160 in the 300 - seat Parliament and the bill is expected to pass easily . |

Updated 5 / 5 / 2010 1 : 41 PM
Riots over harsh new austerity measures left three bank workers dead and engulfed the streets of Athens on Wednesday , as angry protesters tried to storm parliament , hurled Molotov cocktails at police and torched buildings .
Police responded with barrages of tear gas .
Tens of thousands of people took to the streets in a nationwide strike to protest new taxes and government spending cuts demanded by the International Monetary Fund and other European nations before heavily indebted Greece gets a euro110 billion ( $141 billion ) loan package to keep it from defaulting .
The three bank workers a man and two women died after demonstrators set their bank on fire along the main demonstration route in central Athens .
As their colleagues sobbed in the street , five other bank workers were rescued from the balcony of the burning building .
"A demonstration is one thing and murder is quite another ! " Prime Minister George Papandreou thundered in Parliament during a session to discuss the spending cuts he announced Sunday measures even the IMF has called draconian .
Lawmakers held a minute of silence for the dead the first deaths during a protest in Greece since 1991 .
"We are all concerned by Greece's economic and budgetary situation but at this time our thoughts are with the human victims in Athens , " European Union President Herman Van Rompuy said in Brussels .
A senior fire department official said demonstrators prevented firefighters from reaching the burning building , costing them vital time .
"Several crucial minutes were lost , " the official said , visibly upset .
"If we had intervened earlier , the loss of life could have been prevented . "
He asked not to be identified pending an official announcement .
In Berlin , German Chancellor Angela Merkel called the Greek bailout critical for all of Europe .
"Nothing less than the future of Europe , and with that the future of Germany in Europe , is at stake , " Merkel told lawmakers in Berlin , urging them to quickly pass the country's share of the bailout euro22 billion ( $28 billion ) over three years by Friday .

A bomb exploded Friday at a West Coast Bank branch in Woodburn , killing a Woodburn police officer and an <m> Oregon State Police </m> bomb squad technician , and critically injuring the Woodburn police chief .
The bomb detonated around 5:30 p.m. at the bank in the 2500 block of Oregon 214 .
The victims have been identified as Senior Trooper William Hakim of the Oregon State Police and Capt. Tom Tennant of the Woodburn Police Department , both described by colleagues this morning as dedicated professionals and family men .
Hakim is the second bomb technician to die in the line of duty in the history of the Oregon State Police , Hastings said. He leaves behind a wife and two children , a 16-year-old son and an 18-year-old daughter .
Tennant was promoted to captain four years ago .
He leaves behind a wife and three children , a 17-year-old son and two grown daughters .
Tennant 's longtime colleague , Woodburn police Sgt. Jason Tlusty , was visibly shaken as he described his friend and coworker this morning .

Woodburn Police Chief Scott Russell received critical injuries and was taken to OHSU Hospital , according to OSP Lt. Gregg Hastings .
A hospital representative said Russell , a 20-year veteran of the department with two daughters , is in an intensive care unit this morning .
Hastings this morning announced that the ATF and FBI are offering a $ 35,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the individual responsible for the crime .
He described those responsible as `` very dangerous . ''
`` That person needs to be found as soon as possible , '' Hastings said during the somber press conference this morning .
A bank employee suffered non-life threatening injuries .
The other identities were not released .
Marion County deputy medical examiner Rodge Womack said police were concerned there might be a second bomb in the area ; police dogs and a robot were combing the area late into the night .
An undetermined number of people living within a block of the bank were evacuated from their homes Friday , and a quarter-mile area around the crime scene was cordoned off .
The bank had been evacuated before the bomb detonated , according to West Coast Bank Chief Executive Robert Sznewajs .
The branch has been there for at least 10 years , he said .
The blast came several hours after someone made a threatening phone call to Wells Fargo around 10:30 a.m. Oregon State Police , the FBI and Woodburn police responded to the call .
Police did not provide much detail about what transpired between then and 5:30 p.m. , when the bomb went off at West Coast Bank .
But according to Sznewajs , two bomb threats came into the two banks , which sit side by side on Oregon 214 .
Police responded to both , but it was an employee who found a suspicious device under the bushes outside West Coast bank .
Sznewajs told The Statesman Journal that his bank for a call `` from an unknown person saying that we should look for one as well .
We called authorities , but they looked and found nothing . ''
Sznewajs said that `` one of our people saw a device in the bushes around the branch and called authorities .
We looked at it and evacuated the branch and sent people away . ''
He said authorities decided to move the device inside the branch and apparently scanned it -- and then it went off .
Sznewajs said he did not know whether the bomb went off on its own or as a result of the technicians ' investigation .
After the blast , officers closed down a large swath of the commercial strip , populated by gas stations , fast food shops and strip malls .
Marion County Sheriff Russ Isham said the area will remain closed through the weekend , adding that he did not know if there could be additional bombs .
Police ask anyone with information to call the ATF at 800-800-3855 .
Investigators for the FBI and the ATF were dispatched to the scene .
Police said early today that a multi-agency investigation involving federal , state , county and city police agencies has begun to identify suspects .
The blast shook up area residents .
Bob Currie , 66 , a resident of Panor Senior Condominiums which overlooks the Wells Fargo branch , said that in the morning he saw a police car blocking the drive-up teller window and an FBI bomb technician checking a garbage can in the parking lot .
He said the Wells Fargo evacuated at 1:30 p.m. and he saw people leaving the bank from his balcony .
Later in the afternoon , `` I went back to my computer and all of a sudden heard this loud ka-boom . ''
T.J. Simons , 17 , who works at the 76 station on Oregon 214 about 500 feet from the bank , also heard the blast .
`` At first I thought it was thunder , until I saw all the cops showing up . ''
`` It sounded like somebody tossing a Dumpster off a three-story building , '' said Jan Olson , who was smoking on her deck in the nearby Evergreen Estates apartment complex . |

Woodburn Police Chief Scott Russell received critical injuries and was taken to OHSU Hospital , according to OSP Lt. Gregg Hastings .
A hospital representative said Russell , a 20-year veteran of the department with two daughters , is in an intensive care unit this morning .
Hastings this morning announced that the ATF and FBI are offering a $ 35,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the individual responsible for the crime .
He described those responsible as `` very dangerous . ''
`` That person needs to be found as soon as possible , '' Hastings said during the somber press conference this morning .
A bank employee suffered non-life threatening injuries .
The other identities were not released .
Marion County deputy medical examiner Rodge Womack said police were concerned there might be a second bomb in the area ; police dogs and a robot were combing the area late into the night .
An undetermined number of people living within a block of the bank were evacuated from their homes Friday , and a quarter-mile area around the crime scene was cordoned off .
The bank had been evacuated before the bomb detonated , according to West Coast Bank Chief Executive Robert Sznewajs .
The branch has been there for at least 10 years , he said .
The blast came several hours after someone made a threatening phone call to Wells Fargo around 10:30 a.m. Oregon State Police , the FBI and Woodburn police responded to the call .
Police did not provide much detail about what transpired between then and 5:30 p.m. , when the bomb went off at West Coast Bank .
But according to Sznewajs , two bomb threats came into the two banks , which sit side by side on Oregon 214 .
Police responded to both , but it was an employee who found a suspicious device under the bushes outside West Coast bank .
Sznewajs told The Statesman Journal that his bank for a call `` from an unknown person saying that we should look for one as well .
We called authorities , but they looked and found nothing . ''
Sznewajs said that `` one of our people saw a device in the bushes around the branch and called authorities .
We looked at it and evacuated the branch and sent people away . ''
He said authorities decided to move the device inside the branch and apparently scanned it -- and then it went off .
Sznewajs said he did not know whether the bomb went off on its own or as a result of the technicians ' investigation .
After the blast , officers closed down a large swath of the commercial strip , populated by gas stations , fast food shops and strip malls .
Marion County Sheriff Russ Isham said the area will remain closed through the weekend , adding that he did not know if there could be additional bombs .
Police ask anyone with information to call the ATF at 800-800-3855 .
Investigators for the FBI and the ATF were dispatched to the scene .
Police said early today that a multi-agency investigation involving federal , state , county and city police agencies has begun to identify suspects .
The blast shook up area residents .
Bob Currie , 66 , a resident of Panor Senior Condominiums which overlooks the Wells Fargo branch , said that in the morning he saw a police car blocking the drive-up teller window and an FBI bomb technician checking a garbage can in the parking lot .
He said the Wells Fargo evacuated at 1:30 p.m. and he saw people leaving the bank from his balcony .
Later in the afternoon , `` I went back to my computer and all of a sudden heard this loud ka-boom . ''
T.J. Simons , 17 , who works at the 76 station on Oregon 214 about 500 feet from the bank , also heard the blast .
`` At first I thought it was thunder , until I saw all the cops showing up . ''
`` It sounded like somebody tossing a Dumpster off a three-story building , '' said Jan Olson , who was smoking on her deck in the nearby Evergreen Estates apartment complex . |

Woodburn Police Chief Scott Russell received critical injuries and was taken to OHSU Hospital , according to OSP Lt. Gregg Hastings .
A hospital representative said Russell , a 20-year veteran of the department with two daughters , is in an intensive care unit this morning .
Hastings this morning announced that the ATF and FBI are offering a $ 35,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the individual responsible for the crime .
He described those responsible as `` very dangerous . ''
`` That person needs to be found as soon as possible , '' Hastings said during the somber press conference this morning .
A bank employee suffered non-life threatening injuries .
The other identities were not released .
Marion County deputy medical examiner Rodge Womack said police were concerned there might be a second bomb in the area ; police dogs and a robot were combing the area late into the night .
An undetermined number of people living within a block of the bank were evacuated from their homes Friday , and a quarter-mile area around the crime scene was cordoned off .
The bank had been evacuated before the bomb detonated , according to West Coast Bank Chief Executive Robert Sznewajs .
The branch has been there for at least 10 years , he said .
The blast came several hours after someone made a threatening phone call to Wells Fargo around 10:30 a.m. Oregon State Police , the FBI and Woodburn police responded to the call .
Police did not provide much detail about what transpired between then and 5:30 p.m. , when the bomb went off at West Coast Bank .
But according to Sznewajs , two bomb threats came into the two banks , which sit side by side on Oregon 214 .
Police responded to both , but it was an employee who found a suspicious device under the bushes outside West Coast bank .
Sznewajs told The Statesman Journal that his bank for a call `` from an unknown person saying that we should look for one as well .
We called authorities , but they looked and found nothing . ''
Sznewajs said that `` one of our people saw a device in the bushes around the branch and called authorities .
We looked at it and evacuated the branch and sent people away . ''
He said authorities decided to move the device inside the branch and apparently scanned it -- and then it went off .
Sznewajs said he did not know whether the bomb went off on its own or as a result of the technicians ' investigation .
After the blast , officers closed down a large swath of the commercial strip , populated by gas stations , fast food shops and strip malls .
Marion County Sheriff Russ Isham said the area will remain closed through the weekend , adding that he did not know if there could be additional bombs .
Police ask anyone with information to call the ATF at 800-800-3855 .
Investigators for the FBI and the ATF were dispatched to the scene .
Police said early today that a multi-agency investigation involving federal , state , county and city police agencies has begun to identify suspects .
The blast shook up area residents .
Bob Currie , 66 , a resident of Panor Senior Condominiums which overlooks the Wells Fargo branch , said that in the morning he saw a police car blocking the drive-up teller window and an FBI bomb technician checking a garbage can in the parking lot .
He said the Wells Fargo evacuated at 1:30 p.m. and he saw people leaving the bank from his balcony .
Later in the afternoon , `` I went back to my computer and all of a sudden heard this loud ka-boom . ''
T.J. Simons , 17 , who works at the 76 station on Oregon 214 about 500 feet from the bank , also heard the blast .
`` At first I thought it was thunder , until I saw all the cops showing up . ''
`` It sounded like somebody tossing a Dumpster off a three-story building , '' said Jan Olson , who was smoking on her deck in the nearby Evergreen Estates apartment complex . |

Hakim is the second bomb technician to die in the line of duty in the history of the Oregon State Police , Hastings said. He leaves behind a wife and two children , a 16-year-old son and an 18-year-old daughter .
Tennant was promoted to captain four years ago .
He leaves behind a wife and three children , a 17-year-old son and two grown daughters .
Tennant 's longtime colleague , Woodburn police Sgt. Jason Tlusty , was visibly shaken as he described his friend and coworker this morning .

Woodburn Police Chief Scott Russell received critical injuries and was taken to OHSU Hospital , according to OSP Lt. Gregg Hastings .
A hospital representative said Russell , a 20-year veteran of the department with two daughters , is in an intensive care unit this morning .
Hastings this morning announced that the ATF and FBI are offering a $ 35,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the individual responsible for the crime .
He described those responsible as `` very dangerous . ''
`` That person needs to be found as soon as possible , '' Hastings said during the somber press conference this morning .
A bank employee suffered non-life threatening injuries .
The other identities were not released .
Marion County deputy medical examiner Rodge Womack said police were concerned there might be a second bomb in the area ; police dogs and a robot were combing the area late into the night .
An undetermined number of people living within a block of the bank were evacuated from their homes Friday , and a quarter-mile area around the crime scene was cordoned off .
The bank had been evacuated before the bomb detonated , according to West Coast Bank Chief Executive Robert Sznewajs .
The branch has been there for at least 10 years , he said .
The blast came several hours after someone made a threatening phone call to Wells Fargo around 10:30 a.m. Oregon State Police , the FBI and Woodburn police responded to the call .
Police did not provide much detail about what transpired between then and 5:30 p.m. , when the bomb went off at West Coast Bank .
But according to Sznewajs , two bomb threats came into the two banks , which sit side by side on Oregon 214 .
Police responded to both , but it was an employee who found a suspicious device under the bushes outside West Coast bank .
Sznewajs told The Statesman Journal that his bank for a call `` from an unknown person saying that we should look for one as well .
We called authorities , but they looked and found nothing . ''
Sznewajs said that `` one of our people saw a device in the bushes around the branch and called authorities .
We looked at it and evacuated the branch and sent people away . ''
He said authorities decided to move the device inside the branch and apparently scanned it -- and then it went off .
Sznewajs said he did not know whether the bomb went off on its own or as a result of the technicians ' investigation .
After the blast , officers closed down a large swath of the commercial strip , populated by gas stations , fast food shops and strip malls .
Marion County Sheriff Russ Isham said the area will remain closed through the weekend , adding that he did not know if there could be additional bombs .
Police ask anyone with information to call the ATF at 800-800-3855 .
Investigators for the FBI and the ATF were dispatched to the scene .
Police said early today that a multi-agency investigation involving federal , state , county and city police agencies has begun to identify suspects .
The blast shook up area residents .
Bob Currie , 66 , a resident of Panor Senior Condominiums which overlooks the Wells Fargo branch , said that in the morning he saw a police car blocking the drive-up teller window and an FBI bomb technician checking a garbage can in the parking lot .
He said the Wells Fargo evacuated at 1:30 p.m. and he saw people leaving the bank from his balcony .
Later in the afternoon , `` I went back to my computer and all of a sudden heard this loud ka-boom . ''
T.J. Simons , 17 , who works at the 76 station on Oregon 214 about 500 feet from the bank , also heard the blast .
`` At first I thought it was thunder , until I saw all the cops showing up . ''
`` It sounded like somebody tossing a Dumpster off a three-story building , '' said Jan Olson , who was smoking on her deck in the nearby Evergreen Estates apartment complex . |

In record time , <m> Microsoft </m> released today an `` out of band '' patch for a significant security flaw in Internet Explorer that burst onto the scene 8 days ago .
We strongly recommend that all Windows users , especially Windows XP and Windows 2000 users , apply the patch as soon as possible .
It is available on Windows Update and through Automatic Updates and by direct download through the security advisory for the vulnerability .
Here is the description of the vulnerability that it presents:
A remote code execution vulnerability exists as an invalid pointer reference in the data binding function of Internet Explorer .
When data binding is enabled ( which is the default state ) , it is possible under certain conditions for an object to be released without updating the array length , leaving the potential to access the deleted object 's memory space .
This can cause Internet Explorer to exit unexpectedly , in a state that is exploitable .
That 's not quite enough to help you to write an exploit , but it 's a lot more detail than they usually release .
Once again , run , do n't walk , to your vulnerable PCs and apply these updates . |

We strongly recommend that all Windows users , especially Windows XP and Windows 2000 users , apply the patch as soon as possible .
It is available on Windows Update and through Automatic Updates and by direct download through the security advisory for the vulnerability .
Here is the description of the vulnerability that it presents:
A remote code execution vulnerability exists as an invalid pointer reference in the data binding function of Internet Explorer .
When data binding is enabled ( which is the default state ) , it is possible under certain conditions for an object to be released without updating the array length , leaving the potential to access the deleted object 's memory space .
This can cause Internet Explorer to exit unexpectedly , in a state that is exploitable .
