Gunmen seriously wound policeman in AthensGunmen linked to Greece's most militant guerrillas shot and seriously wounded a policeman in Athens on Monday, weeks after the killing of a teenager by police prompted the worst riots in decades. An investigator walks past a police line in a street where a policeman was shot in Athens. Police said one of at least two weapons fired against a group of riot police guarding the Culture Ministry in the central Athens Exarchia district was the same used by the left-wing Revolutionary Struggle guerrilla group. "The investigation into the 9mm weapon used in Monday's attack showed that it was used in an attack on a police station in April 2007," police said in a statement. That was the last attack claimed by the group which surfaced in 2003. After the capture of the deadly November 17 leftist urban guerrilla group in 2002, Revolutionary Struggle emerged as Greece's most violent group with a series of bombings at ministries and police, and a spectacular rocket-propelled grenade attack against the U.S. embassy in Athens in January 2007. more from daily news »
