Bombs Rock Central Athens Police Station
(Bombs Rock Central Athens Police Station, May 4, 2004)
Three timebombs exploded outside a central Athens police station early on Wednesday but caused no serious casualties, a police official said.
Authorities had cordoned off the area around the station in Kalithea after an anonymous caller warned a newspaper about them, the official said. . . . "The first two explosions went off in a span of five minutes. The third exploded half an hour later as bomb experts were still looking for it," the police official told Reuters. . . . An ambulance was called for one policeman slightly hurt by the third blast, he said. . . . Kalithea is near several hotels to be used by Olympic officials during the games in August. Fears have been running high that the games could be a target of political violence. . . . "The police are treating this matter very seriously with only three months to go until the games," the official said. "You have three sophisticated time bombs going off outside a police station, that's serious enough for police." . . . The number of bomb attacks in Greece had decreased after the dismantling of the guerrilla group November 17 in 2002.
