Explosions Rocks U.S. Embassy in Athens
Associated Press
Friday, January 12, 2007
ATHENS, Greece - Police cordoned off streets around the U.S. Embassy in Athens early Friday after an explosion inside the embassy compound.
Authorities searched nearby apartment buildings and a hospital amid reports that an explosive device may have been fired at the building. The blast smashed glass in the front of the building, near the U.S. emblem of the embassy.
"I heard a loud bang I didn't realize what was going on," said Giorgos Yiannoulis, who runs a kiosk near the embassy.

damaged the official embassy sign outside the mission
If they mean a sign that is attached to the building, that's one thing. Could be a bomb in a lobby.
If they mean a sign unattached to the building, that's a pretty darn big explosion.

I would think at 5:55am in the morning, Athens is pretty much asleep.

Nah... Greek Orthodox extremists would never do something like that; they're decent guys! Besides, they're all too busy FReeping.

Flew from Bahrain to Athens on the way to Shannon & the US once. We had to stay on the plane in Athens because of terrorism problems. This was 2 decades ago.
Probably worse now.
