Dozens of shots fired at Israeli embassy in Athens
Unidentified assailants opened fire on the Israeli embassy in Athens with a Kalashnikov assault rifle in the early hours of Friday, police said, but no injuries or damage were reported.
Four people on motorcycles fired shots at the embassy building in a northern suburb of Athens at about 3 A.M., a police official said. Bullets were lodged in the walls, 54 bullet casings from an AK-47 assault rifle a weapon favored by Greek anarchist militant groups were recovered outside the embassy, on a busy road junction that was closed to traffic for hours.
Nobody claimed responsibility for the attack, which occurred long before the building opened for business.
Police have cordoned off the area around the embassy and forensics experts in white protective clothing were searching the area. The embassy has not been a target in other acts of low-level violence in Greece in recent years as an economic crisis raises social and political tensions.
