The missile fired at the US Embassy by Revolutionary Struggle last month reached Greece via Kosovo, police sources told Kathimerini yesterday in what authorities believe is a breakthrough in their investigation.
Greek and US security agents have discovered that the rocket-propelled grenade was removed from an army warehouse in Albania in 1994 and taken to Kosovo, where it came into the possession of an arms smuggler.
Authorities believe that the arms trader held on to the weapon until 2001 and they are investigating his contacts and dealings in the hope they will find out who smuggled the rocket into Greece.
A high-ranking police source said that officers had contacted foreign security services to obtain more information and they hope their investigation will develop further this week.
No member of Revolutionary Struggle, the leftist group which claimed the embassy attack, has been caught since the organization became active in 2003.
And he was right under the nose of NATO/KFOR the international community/UN in Kosovo.

This is all Bill Clinton fault. Can we all agree on this.
If we had not bombed Kosovo and the Balkins under Bill Clinton's watch, the bopmbing of the embassy would never have happened.
Works for the moonbats!
This weapon was removed in 1994, three years before the pyramid scheme collapse in Albania which resulted in widespread takeover and looting of police and army weapons. Much of this weaponry went to Kosovo. But now it looks like there was even earlier smuggling of Albanian army weapons.
Who wants to take my bet, that the missile got to Greece via a radical Islamist group from Kosovo, whose members attend a Wahabi Mosque in Kosovo funded by the Saudis?
Clinton, the legacy that keeps on giving!
Modern day Hoplite warrior?

ALBANIAN EXTREMISTS THREATEN TO TAKE ACTION IN GREECE
Skopje, 30 May 2001 (17:20 UTC+2)
[Emphasis added]
A political representative of the so-called National Liberation Army (NLA), who lives in Switzerland stated to the Australian state radio yesterday evening, local time, that armed Albanians will take action in northwestern Greece as well!.
The FYROM state news agency "MIA" reports, based on a correspondence from Sydney, that the political representative of NLA, under the name Ahmeti, has maintained that in the specific Greek region, he called "Chameria", live about one million Albanians and stated that the members of the so-called "Liberation Army of Chameria", (UCC), which has already been created, are perfectly trained and soon will be called to defend their rights.
The Albanians from every Albanian country in the Balkans must enjoy their rights and this is our demand, stated Ahmeti, pointing out that the war in FYROM will end only when the demands set by NLA will be met.
He concluded that NLA will defend the rights of the Albanians in Greece as it defends the rights of the Albanians in FYROM which are being violated.
It should be noted that the Skopje magazine "Zum" had published an article last week mentioning that a detailed plan for the creation of the Liberation Army of Chameria had been drawn up in Switzerland since early this year.
The magazine, citing sources close to the FYROM secret services, had written that initially Albanian organizations will be founded in Greece and then an armed struggle will get underway for the annexation of part of the Greek territory to the so-called "Greater Albania". The UCC will also turn against the ethnic Greek minority in southern Albania, mainly targeting Omonia organization members.
FYROM's state-run news agency in another news report mentions that the Albanian rebels' plan concerning Greece is in a way confirmed by the fact that on April 21 journalists had maintained that about a week earlier the Greek authorities had confiscated a truck full of weapons marked with UCK initials at the Greek-FYROM borders. However, the Greek authorities had denied the information.
The FYROM news agency also points out that in many non-Albanian speaking web sites on the Internet there are messages that lead to the conclusion that the creation of UCC is being prepared. Those messages many times end with the phrase "Greece is the next country from which we will take back our land".
