Cyprus police are examining an unexploded bomb that was left outside the home of the owner of a labour exchange in the island's capital Nicosia yesterday.

The device was found early yesterday morning and was taken by police for examination.

Police said the bomb was spotted by a neighbour outside the house, belonging to the owner of a labour exchange office, dealing mainly with immigrant workers.

A bomb expert said the people who planted the device had tried to explode it by using a "fire streak".
