AFP. 26 January 2002. Anarchists claim bombing of Jordanian diplomatic car in Athens.
ATHENS -- Suspected anarchists have claimed responsibility for a bomb attack earlier this week in Athens against a car owned by the Jordanian embassy, the Greek newspaper Eleftherotypia reported Saturday. An unidentified man told the paper that a group called "The Flames of Revolt," unknown to Athens police, had carried out the attack early Friday, but did not reveal a motive. Police said they believe that the group is linked to anarchist elements in Greece. The blast, fueled by small petrol cans, completely destroyed the car, which belonged to Nadif Omar, a secretary at the Jordanian embassy, police said. The explosion, which took place at 4:00 am (0200 GMT) Friday in the northern Halandri district of Athens, also damaged a neighboring car with Greek license plates. The Halandri district is near the Psychico area, where several embassies, including the Jordanian embassy, are located. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
