Greek nihilist group calls for attacks during Barack Obama’s visit

The nihilist group has organised a string of bomb attacks on judges, police and other authority figures. The attacks have caused minor injuries, but no fatalities.

In a posting on a left-wing website today, the group called on anarchists to use Obama’s visit to “return a little of the violence we receive daily.”

Anarchist groups are planning a protest march to the US embassy in Athens on Nov 15. Similar protests during a 1999 visit by then-president Bill Clinton led to extensive violence.
