Quake rocks Olympics

An earthquake rattled Olympic venues in and around the Greek capital today.

The Athens Geodynamic Institute confirmed that there was a tremor, but did not have any details and did not immediately know the epicentre or the magnitude of the quake.

Fire and police departments said there were no immediate reports of injuries or damage anywhere in Greece.

Earthquakes are common in Greece, one of the most seismically-active countries in Europe.
