The most recent Fox report said, "The blast ripped through the MAIN EMBASSY BUILDING."

They've probably got to get it cleared by a bomb squad and also debris cleared before they can get in.

I was stationed in the Embassy for three years, 1992-95. The only real threat at that time was the November 17th terrorist group, which enjoyed some protection from Greek government officials. The only way something could be brought into the main Embassy compound is by an employee, especially at that time of the morning.

Greece has always been lax in terms of security. It has been an entry point to Europe for some Middle Eastern terrorists. Hopefully, more information will become available.
