Just as a major terrorist group has warned it would go after “economic targets,” and strike at judges and police officers in protest of unrelenting austerity and the coming firing of scores of thousands of public workers – and a letter bomb was sent to a prosecutor – six explosive devices believed to have been made of butane gas canisters went off in the Athenian neighborhoods of Kypseli and Egaleo overnight on Sept. 2, though no injuries were reported, police said.
The homemade bombs destroyed four cars, a truck, two motorcycles and a garbage bin. No reports were made concerning who may behind the attacks, which were not launched against specific targets, though authorities are investigating to determine the reason why the particular targets were selected and to see if there is any link to the rising terrorist threat.
The extremists are opposed to the government’s implementing austerity measures on the demand of its international lenders and have a long laundry list of their complaints against Capitalists, bankers, politicians, businessmen, journalists and others.
