Claim of Responsibility in Athens Terror Attack
 There are no casualties in a terror attack in the Greek capital. A leftist group is reportedly claiming responsibility for a Friday morning rocket attack on the US embassy in Athens. "Revolutionary Struggle" is a domestic organisation that says it's opposed to Greece's role in the "global war on terror." Greece has a role in the global war on terror? As what? The group first appeared in 2003 and has carried out bombings against mostly government targets. The blast was powerful enough to cause windows on neighbouring buildings to shatter, but caused littled damage to the embassy. American Ambassador to Greece Charles Ries says Greece's foreign affairs and public order ministers both visited the embassy after the attack as a show of solidarity. The Greek government has condemned the attack. Police plan to set up a special anti-terror task force to track down the perpetrators. Posted by: Fred 2007-01-13 |
