| Bomb explodes outside Athens stock exchange |
| 2009-09-02 |
| A BOMB in a car exploded outside the Athens stock exchange, slightly wounding one woman, damaging the building and setting eight vehicles ablaze, Greek police said. They said a home-made bomb exploded at the same time outside a government building in the northern city of Thessaloniki. The Athens blast followed a warning received by a Greek newspaper, the police said. "It was an explosive device. The remains of it were found in a damaged car," said Greek police spokesman Panayiotis Stathis. The chairman of the Athens stock exchange, Spyros Kapralos, told NET TV: "The building has been seriously damaged." Earlier, police said the damage to the building was minor. A Reuters witness said windows of other buildings in the area had been smashed and that a car dealership was among those damaged. The area was cordoned off by police. Leftist and anarchist guerrilla groups have claimed responsibility for a string of attacks that have struck Greece since the police shooting of a teenager in December sparked the country's worst riots in decades. |

| #2 Anarcho-kiddies. Sideshow leftovers, when/if TSHTF, they will be part of a larger problem, because they're symptomatic of a larger disease and because AFAIK political violence in Europe almost exclusively came from the left those last few decades, including actual terrorism. Still, it's not the 70's anymore, and leftists don't own the street anymore, in Greece nor in France nor in the Uk, nor anywhere else, the Youths do. Lefties are wannabes, black bloc included, the Youths are the real deal. |
