I am not at all sure about this bit Jim.  In the first place it would not be
terribly usual for a bank branch to have insurance against being attacked -
it would be quite expensive insurance and banks are usually quite
well-armoured and guarded anyway.  Banks aren't typically insured against
robberies.

Also, I don't see how the depositors end up suffering out of this.  They're
depositors of the bank, not any individual branch.  It's not even as if
they're going to have a significant walk to find another branch because
there are loads of bank branches in Athens.  I am in general against bombing
banks, not least because I work in one, but the economics here don't seem
right.

When the "angry anarchist"
bombs a bank, it's not the bank-owners that suffer (after all, they
have insurance). Instead, it's the depositors and the taxpayers who
pay, along with some borrowers who won't be able to get loans. The
bank's stock-owners are covered.
