| Bombs Rock Central Athens Police Station |
| 2004-05-04 |
| Three bomb blasts hit a central Athens police station early Wednesday, a police official said. It was not clear whether there were any casualties or damage to the building. The police official said authorities had received an anonymous warning that the three explosive devices would go off at the police station in Kalithea. In August Greece hosts the Olympics, amid fears the games could be a target for political violence. If there was a warning then its not islamicists. |

| #7 If there was a warning then its not islamicists. Responsibility means little here, if anything. Greece just got put on notice that they don't have a handle on everything, and with the Olympic Games just around the corner, this development can't look very good. |

| #4 And now they've got an idea of just how competent the Greeks are when given advance notice. Great beta test. |

| #2 I dunno; third bomb could have been intended to kill rescuers. Or the timers were screwed, and the whole set-up was intended to replay Bali. |

| #1 If there was a warning then its not islamicists. Not so fast "The first two explosions went off in a span of five minutes. The third exploded half an hour later as bomb experts were still looking for it," the police official told Reuters. |
