More civil disobedience in Greece

Last year sustained riots erupted when police shot a young boy. Now they are dealing with armed militants. The conservative Greek government has had a lot of instability and trouble ever since the shooting of last year and even before that. This is just one more piece of evidence that there is serious dissent in parts of Europe.

Gunmen attack Greek police station in Athens

ATHENS, Greece - A suspected left-wing terror group attacked a police station in Athens Tuesday, shooting at the building and throwing a hand grenade, a month after a similar attack seriously wounded a policeman.
Anti-terrorist police were investigating the pre-dawn shooting in the Korydallos district of western Athens, in which three attackers wearing hoods and helmets opened fire on the station, police spokesman Panagiotis Stathis said. They also threw a hand grenade that did not explode. No injuries were reported.
Last month, domestic terrorist group Revolutionary Struggle claimed responsibility for a Jan. 5 shooting that seriously wounded a 21-year-old riot policeman in central Athens. The group is possibly best known for firing a rocket-propelled grenade into the U.S. Embassy in Athens in 2007. Washington offered a $1 million reward for information leading to the capture of Revolutionary Struggle members.
