Extreme Left Group Fires Rocket at U.S. Embassy in Athens
Suspected leftist guerrillas fired a rocket at the U.S. embassy in Athens on Friday but no one was hurt in the blast, police and government officials said.
In the most serious attack against the mission in 10 years, the small rocket launched from across the street shattered windows and woke up nearby residents in the central Athens area at 5:58 AM (0358 GMT).
“There are one or two anonymous phone calls which claim that the Revolutionary Struggle was behind the attack,” Public Order Minister Byron Polydoras told reporters outside the embassy. “Most likely, it is an act by local perpetrators.”
The leftist guerrilla group has emerged as the most serious domestic threat since the dismantling of the deadly November 17 group in 2002. It claimed an assassination attempt against Greece’s culture minister in May and a bomb at the Economy Ministry which wounded two people and damaged buildings 13 months ago.
Luckily no one was hurt. That being said, next time someone could get hurt. It seems to me that the Greec government should wage an aggressive campaign against this guerilla group terrorist organization.

“Suspected leftist guerrillas”
Yeah sure. Bcause ten years ago, another leftist terrorist group conducted a similar attack. Yo, let’s jump to conclusions.
Seriously, I won’t be surprised if it turns out that the real culprits come from a totally different background. After all, it’s not as if the US is facing a scarcity of enemies today. Oh, and the fact that a totally different embassy was in the news just yesterday may be significant…
Dan Riehl’s Riehl World View in the links to the story? You have got to be kidding after his recent debacle.
Get out yer tinfoil folks LOL.
