N17 appeal
A council of appeals court judges decided yesterday that two members of the November 17 terrorist group, Savvas Xeros and Dimitris Koufodinas, should not face charges in connection with an explosion in January 2001 at the entrance to an apartment block where former defense minister Vassilis Michaloliakos lived. Michaloliakos and another man were slightly injured in the blast and a 58-year-old woman died from a heart attack. The judges decided that witness statements about the incident were not reliable. In a few days, N17 members are due to begin testifying in their appeal, which is being held in a specially constructed courtroom at Korydallos Prison.
