Bombs explode in Greece

A number of bombs have exploded in Athens.

The parcel bombs targeted foreign embassies in the Greek capital. One bomb exploded at the Russian embassy and another at the Swiss. Two other parcel bombs were destroyed at the Bulgarian and Chilean embassies. Four other parcel bombs were found in the city and one woman was injured when a device exploded at a sorting office.

Two men who were in possession of two parcel bombs, glock 9mm pistols and wearing bullet proof vests were arrested later. They are suspected of being members of a far-left militant group. Greece is home to a number of far-left militant groups including Revolutionary Struggle, Conspiracy of the Cells of Fire and 17-November.
