Greece

Grenade thrown at French embassy

Assailants on a motorcycle threw a grenade at the French embassy in Athens on Thursday, slighting wounding a police officer on duty, police said. Greece's anti-terrorism police are investigating the attack, which happened at 5 am on one of the city's main avenues and opposite Parliament. Police are working on the theory that the attack was staged by local anarchists, who regularly carry out acts of violence against diplomatic missions.
