Blast at S. Africa Microsoft Office

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP) - A small explosion Friday at Microsoft Corp.'s (NasdaqNM:MSFT - news) offices in Johannesburg caused little damage, police said.

No one was injured, and there was no structural damage beyond broken windows, police spokesman Superintendent Willem de Villiers said.

A police bomb squad was investigating.

Only security personnel were at the office when the explosion went off before dawn, said Terry Annecke, a marketing manager for the Redmond, Wash.-based software giant.

``The security staff didn't see anything. They have been questioned by the police'' she said.

Anyone entering the courtyard must go through a security checkpoint, Annecke said.

The roughly 150 Microsoft staff members who normally work in the building, located in the northern Johannesburg neighborhood of Sunninghill, were asked to work from home or visit clients on Friday, Annecke said.
