The U.S. Embassy in Athens, Greece was hit with a terrorist attack. Breaking News says someone with a hand held missile launcher hit the embassy from the street level. They are calling it a definite terrorist attack, details are still sketchy.
Yeah, but it's not Al Queda. Some idiotic Greek extremist group is taking credit for it. I don't think it will be a worldwide indication of what is going to happen, these are just a bunch of jerkoffs with some bottle rockets.
ATHENS, Greece (AP) -- A rocket struck the U.S. Embassy early Friday, exploding inside the modern, glass-fronted building but causing no injuries in an attack that Greek authorities said was probably carried out by a domestic terrorist group.
The small anti-tank missile narrowly missed the large blue-and-white U.S. seal on the embassy's facade and pierced the building above the front entrance shortly before 6 a.m. It damaged a bathroom on the third floor near the ambassador's office and shattered windows in nearby buildings.
imagine taking that morning gulp of the local java while sitting at your desk and WHAM, a fucking missle pierces your office building. I would be forced to leave work early that day to clean out my boxers...

No one hurt minimal damage
Well they were really trying to inflict injury and send a message at 6am

I don't know what the scumbags call themselves these days but when I was there from 1984 to 1987, there was November 17 and the ELA. November 17 had over 20 murders credited to them along with many bombings. And they weren't the only terrorists hiding out in Athens.
In the three funfilled years I was there:
TWA flight 847 hijacked enroute from Athens to Rome by Lebanese terrorists. They smuggled hand grenades and pistols through Athens airport security. Nice going dipshits!
Palestinian terrorists detonate a bomb on TWA flight 840 on approach to Athens Intl. Airport killilng four Americans, one of them was a 9 month old baby. How that plane managed to land with that gaping hole in the side of it I'll never know.
EgyptAir flight enroute from Athens to Malta carrying several U.S. citizens hijacked by the Abu Nidal Group.
U.S. Embassy defense attache killed by a car bomb.
A road side bomb was detonated as a bus was carrying Army personnel from a remote site to Hellenikon AB. 16 soldiers injured, one severely. I saw the bus at the motor pool. It wasn't pretty. (credited to November 17)
Road side car bomb injures 11 Air Force crewmen on their way to the Apollon Palace Hotel.
Car bomb detonated outside Apollon Palace Hotel, the USAF combined NCO/Officer open mess. The pricks phoned in several bomb threats preceding the actual bombing to see how we resonded. Our procedure was to evacuate the hotel and have everyone meet in the parking lot. So they phoned in a bomb threat, and as everyone was exiting the building, they set off the car bomb in the parking lot.
A bomb hidden in a gym bag detonated in a night club frequented by US service personnel injurying many.
Many cars owned by US service personnel destroyed in a string of firebombings. As a result, we switched from using the square DOD license plates to European style plates.
Those are just the ones I can remember. Athens was and still looks to be a terrorist cesspool.
Is any of these groups in Athens the same one that did Munich? Just saw the movie so was just wondering.
I think the US needs to start (if they don't have it already) a bunch of bad ass, top guys in all the arm forces and send them out and kill all the terrorist without us knowing. For eveyone they kill or hurt, 10 dies from them.

Just a thought...lol.
They have...we just don't know about it...I think?
I was watching a show on the military channel last night about Israel sending F-16's to bomb a French provided nuclear plant in Iraq and after finding out about the attack, President Reagan's response was...
