An explosion that rocked the U.S. Embassy in Athens early Friday was an "act of terrorism" caused by a rocket that was fired into the front of the building, a senior police official said.

Callers have claimed the Greek leftist guerrilla group Revolutionary Struggle was behind the attack, Greece's Public Order Minister Byron Polydoras told reporters outside the embassy.


According to this news report, they're not certain who did it.

A rocket-propelled missile hit the U.S. Embassy in Athens early this morning, causing minor damage to an upper-floor window and a room that gets infrequent use, according to U.S. State Department officials and embassy officials in Greece.

In a message issued today, the State Department indicated that "unknown persons" fired the missile at the embassy at 5:55 a.m. local time. No one was in the area of the building at the time, and no one was hurt, an embassy official said. About 400 people work at the U.S. Embassy in Athens.

U.S. officials said they had no warning. Greece's public order minister told Greek television that the Revolutionary Struggle group claimed responsibility in an anonymous telephone call, according to Bloomberg News. The group is a local leftist organization that has claimed responsibility for previous bombings in Greece.

There were no follow-up attacks.

"The Embassy advises Americans to exercise normal caution and prudence and to monitor the Embassy website for further information," the message says.



Soooo, so far, that's all I've heard...

From what I understand it was an Anti-American Greek group that bombed the Embassy.
