From the Guardian:
Amid growing fears that Greece could become a centre of terrorism in Europe, political extremists yesterday issued a warning to journalists, saying it had them within its sights because they represented a corrupt establishment.
In a statement claiming responsibility for an assault on a private television station four days earlier, the Sect of Revolutionaries guerrilla group vowed to step up their campaign of terror.
“By attacking the channel, we are sending an ultimatum to all journalists,” the militants said in the declaration, originally made on a CD and published in the daily newspaper Ta Nea
The warning, unprecedented in a country that thought it had eradicated guerrilla warfare, came as counter-terrorism experts intensified the search for another group of militants whose attempt to carry out carnage in the centre of Athens was only narrowly thwarted last week.

Modelling themselves on the far-left groups that wrought havoc in Europe in the Seventies, extremists have used guns, hand grenades and explosive devices to target police, media outlets and perceived symbols of capitalism.
The assaults culminated on Wednesday with an attempt to detonate a car bomb outside the headquarters of Citibank in Athens. The 60 kilogram device, assembled with ammonium nitrate fuel oil – the explosive used in the Oklahoma City bombing – could have destroyed the four-storey building and killed hundreds.
Less than 24 hours earlier, two gunmen on a motorbike fired shots at the private television station and threw an explosive device at the premises that failed to detonate.

Anyway this are no good news for Greece
