Bomb blast at Monaco stadium

A BOMB exploded outside Monaco’s main soccer stadium early yesterday.

The building was empty and no one was injured, a top official said. The device exploded outside an entrance at the Stade Louis II, said Jose Badia, Monaco’s government counsellor for social affairs and public works.

The blast targeted a part of the building that houses state offices and the headquarters of sports associations. The stadium is home to AS Monaco, which lost the European Champions Cup final 3-0 to FC Porto last week.
