Rocket fired at the U.S embassy in Athens;expect the unexpected

As soon as I read the news first in FrontPage of filbalad Egyptian portal ,I thought immediately that El-Qaida or any Arabic militant group did as a result of the United States policies in the region

The latest attack on Somalia is enough to create enough anger

Anyhow the surprise came to me when I know that those fired the rocket were n't El-Qaida nor an Arabic or Islamic group ,the group that claimed responsibility is a Greek left wing militant group in the rest of the news report

It turned out the "Revolutionary Struggle" claimed the responsibility of the attack that didn't hurt any one , already the attack took place at about 5:58 AM Athens local time "same as Cairo",so there was no one in the building in the third floor where they targeted their rocket to

I agree with the Greek officials who said that it was more symbolic than to create losses for the Americans

And yes it is more dangerous attack Left wing militants did it against an American entity since years ,it arises old fear from Left wing terrorist organization in Europe ,you know the red flags and sisters

The Revolutionary Struggle which wasn't classified as a terrorist group till today ,despite their terrorist operations in Greece since 2003 ,small but still they were bombing things ,declared its manifesto which contained anti-globalization ,anti-European union and anti-American ideology to the extremes check here

The rocket they used is made in Eastern Europe ,the remaining of the soviet Union

anyhow the most dangerous part in it is that the hit came for unexpected part,The united States was living in the dream that the hit will always come from the Muslims militant groups that refuse its policies in the middle east especially after Bush's glorius hopeful plan in Iraq but the attack despite it was a small attack ,yet it proves the hit can come from any one else

An old enemy that thought to be lost in history ,the left wing

who could think that there is a still left wing militant terrorist group still in the world ?? I thought that they were finished ,well it seemed that I was wrong just like the C.I.A and all other terrorism experts

so the Arabs and Muslims are not the only terrorism suspect ,some one new joined the club  

Look to the history of that group

From CNN.com: The group takes its name from the date of a 1973 student uprising against the military government that ruled Greece at the time. In 1975 Richard Welch, CIA station chief at the U.S. Embassy, was the group's first victim. Its most recent victim, in 2000, was Brig. Stephen Saunders, Britain's senior military attache.

This group got good intelligence information ,also their choice of the timing seems smart to me

well I bet Garden city quarter in Egypt now is like the hell because of the security measure "The biggest and largest American Embassy in the world is there and in front of it the British Embassy"
