Attackers fire rocket at U.S. embassy in Athens | Top News | Reuters.com

Local residents called in to state television saying they had felt the explosion, which shattered some windows.

Greece’s biggest domestic security threat, the leftist November 17 guerrilla group, which had in the past killed U.S. and other foreign diplomats in Greece, was dismantled in 2002.

 In November last year, Greek riot police fired tear gas to disperse demonstrators marching to the U.S. embassy in Athens who chanted slogans including “Bush the butcher, out of Iraq” and “The USA is the real terrorist”.

In February 1996, unidentified assailants fired a rocket at the U.S. embassy compound in Athens, causing minor damage to three diplomatic vehicles and some surrounding buildings.

Gosh. If it wasn’t November 17, or “demonstrators,” I just cannot imagine who might have done something like this.

Could one of you good folks please help me out? I, like Reuters, am at a complete loss in trying to figure out who the likely culprits might be.
