Greece: Explosive devices outside the homes of government politicians

In Thessaloniki, gas-canister bombs were placed outside the homes of politicians from the governing party. Five people were injured, and the anti-terror police are investigating.

As Balkan Insight reports, Greece's anti-terror unit is investigating attacks on the homes of officials of the governing party in Thessaloniki. Explosive devices made from gas canisters had been placed outside the houses; five people were injured in the explosions. The authorities are treating the acts as terrorist attacks and are searching for those responsible. A letter claiming responsibility or a clear motive was not initially made public. The incident is part of a longer history of politically motivated violence and militant small groups in Greece. At this point, the account relies on police statements; the perpetrators and the background remain unresolved.
