Exploding US Embassy in Athens

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070112/...e_explosion_dc

As of right now there doesn't seem to be much publicly available information, but I can't think of any very feasible way for an explosion to occur at a US embassy short of foul play. The explosion was enough to shatter windows in nearby houses and to injure the sign outside the embassy, but they haven't told what the extent of the damage to the interior is, or whether there are any casualties.

It will be interesting to see how this pans out, and who gets the finger pointed at them first. Or if some organization will claim responsibility. Or if it's all just an accident blown out of proportion. (yeah right)

http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/europe...ref=rss_latest what the latest link shows right now is that a third party claims the explosion was outside the building itself.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I saw the article pretty quick, too and was wondering the same thing. Then I decided that it was interesting enough that I would start the thread if no one else did.

Yeah, I guess they don't know how/where to aim a rocket. Too bad that it was a rocket, though - there's no doubt that it's someone trying to do damage to American property, and most civilians playing a prank can't get their hands on a rocket. There's really no viable alternative to it being an act of terrorism. Now we just have to see if one of the militant anti-American Greek groups claims responsibility, or if we start making specific claims first.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
