DAVOS, Switzerland (Reuters) - Left-wing activists claimed responsibility for a small explosion on Thursday that broke windows at a hotel in Davos, close to where top executives and world leaders were meeting, but nobody was hurt.
Devin Wenig, CEO of Thomson Reuters' Markets division, was in a breakfast meeting of senior executives at the hotel when the explosion happened shortly after 9 a.m. (0800 GMT).
"A huge boom went off. The whole ceiling lifted. Everyone was convinced it was a bomb," he said, adding participants were told that a boiler had exploded. "It took a half hour to reassemble the meeting."
The main programme at the World Economic Forum meeting, addressed by French President Nicholas Sarkozy and former U.S. President Bill Clinton on Thursday, was not affected.
"A small explosion took place in the basement," Swiss prosecutors said in a statement. "Nobody was injured. At no time were the hotel's guests in any danger. The blast did, however, cause some minor damage, including a few broken windows."

Civility.
Probably Sarah Palin fans who listen to Rush, Beck and Hannity......
Maybe there is hope after all for our fearless leaders.
Those wacky Amish are at it again!
Precisely why I stick to the smaller hotels in Davos when I’m in town for the WEF. ;)
Has Pima Co. Sheriff Dipstick weighed in on who did it yet?
If by “Amish,” you mean lefty anarchists, you are correct. If you mean the Muslim variety, probably not.
Listening to Rush Limbaugh on their iPhones, another crazed Palin-inspired right winger takes their uncontrollable racist Anti-Swiss vengeance out on the people we elected to run our world. Ooops...
It’s the vitriol I tell ya.
Burns me up.
Group calls themselves Revolutionary perspective.

They carry flowers to appear peaceful but they plant bombs
I hope some one is taking notes on all the Leftist violence taking place here in the USA and around the world.
This is a side show. The real show is Egypt. Dumbo is selling out Mubarak and we will llive to regret it!!!
I bet Odumbo has connections to the Muslim Brotherhood.
