text: Bomb explodes outside home of expelled Slovak MP. BRATISLAVA 1996-12-06 
   A bomb exploded on Friday outside the home of a Slovak politician expelled from parliament after he quit the ruling party, complaining of a lack of democracy in the country. The official TASR news agency said the explosion blew out all ground floor windows of Frantisek Gaulieder's family home in Galanta, western Slovakia, and damaged the main entrance, but no-one was injured. Gaulieder, formerly a member of Prime Minister Vladimir Meciar's ruling Movement for a Democratic Slovakia, was stripped of his parliamentary mandate on Wednesday after leaving the party last month in protest over what he said was a lack of democracy in the country. He said he had been receiving anonymous death threats since making the move. " This was an act of terrorism and now I fear not only for my own life, but also of that of my wife and children, " he told TASR. Gaulieder's family was sleeping in a bedroom at the back of the house and were unharmed by the blast. It was not immediately clear who was behind the blast.
