Greek Communists Claim Embassy Attack

A left-wing group in Greece has claimed today's attack on the Greek embassy. The Group, The Revolutionary People's Struggle (ELA), has a long history of attacking both Greek government and American targets. The group is a Marxist organization committed to revolutionary struggle.

The group is said to have been disbanded in the late 1990s. Apparently, they haven't. The group has come to call itself 'the Revolutionary Nuclei' (RN), but apparently some prefer the old name. Today, the U.S. State Department has RN on its list, but not ELA. RN is viewed as the successor organization to the ELA.

Sky News:

A leftist group has reportedly claimed responsibility for a rocket attack on the US embassy in Athens.

The Greek government said it had received two calls claiming the guerrilla group Revolutionary Struggle was behind the attack.....

The Revolutionary Struggle claimed an assassination attempt against Greece's culture minister in May and a bomb at the Economy Ministry which wounded two people 13 months ago.

As Howie noted, the timing might have been motivated by Undersecretary of State Nicholas Burns' visit to Greece this week

There may also be a connection with the fact that one of the people arrested by the U.S. forces at the Iranian consulate in Iraqi Kurdistan is the IRI's primary terrorism strategist and tactician by the name Hassan Abbasi. This bastard has links with just about any terrorist organization with an aggendum against any or all Western countries. This of course includes the Marxist terrorists in Europe and Japan. This guy (Abbasi) once claimed to be in control of terrorist cells targeting U.S. and other western interests.

2 So, being a Communist, anti-American terror organization, that means they're getting funding from the State Department, right?

3 Last years constantly misquoted National Security Estimate predicted a probable increase in terrorist attacks by left-wing organizations against American targets at home and abroad. Not that the Establishment Media reported that.


The unhinged contumacy displayed by leftists at this site is a good example of the seething pot of hatred and misplaced discontent that feeds terrorist activity. Islamic terrorist organizations can easily dip into it for proxies in their mutual war against mankind, and leftists don't need any prodding to make war against America on their own.


I'm surprised we haven't seen more attacks than we have.
