ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Greece’s biggest domestic security threat, the leftist November 17 guerrilla group, which had in the past killed US 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 US Embassy in Athens who chanted slogans including “Bush the butcher, out of Iraq” and “The USA is the real terrorist.”"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The al-Qaeda is the usual suspect, but the authorities are also speculating that it may have been a fall out of the manner in which former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein was executed in December 2006."


ARTICLE SNIPPET: "However, at the moment the authorities are not even sure whether the explosive was planted inside the building or if it was the result of a rocket propelled from a moving vehicle, aimed towards the embassy."
