Four bombs found in Athens

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-11667851


	Quote: French President Nicolas Sarkozy was among the intended recipients of four parcel bombs found in Athens on Monday, Greek police have said. One of the bombs, addressed to the Mexican embassy in Athens, exploded in the offices of a private courier company, slightly injuring an employee. The other two parcels were addressed to the Belgian and Dutch embassies in the city.

They really like us, Hakker.

So it would seem... I guess nobody told em that the soldiers Belgium sent into that warzone didn't go there to fight.

Which totally makes sense.

Well, they seem to be anarchists, so maybe they oppose the obstruction of immigrants entering Greece and see this as an imperialist neo-liberal/neo-conservative plot. And we have to admit, they at least got the neo-liberal thing right if this is their reason.

To be honest, I personally do not know whether this really is the best tactic of fighting illegal immigration.

You'd think that a country that was in deep trouble with cash not too long ago wouldn't have IMmigration as a problem...

Then again, that group is probably projecting the country's problems on their scapegoat...

Why the heck not Germany, they were the ones who didn't want to cough up the dought.

Re: Four bombs found in Athens

It is more that it is a weakness in Europe's borders and (except in France) the Schengen Treaty allows free travel between EU states.

Hey, who knows what other embassies they'll try to bomb? Of course it would be pretty stupid if they would send one to every single EU state embassy.

... I'll never understand terrorists. You'd think they'd just protest against being part of the EU, if they have an issue with the open borders, and wish to get somewhere.

And, you know, do it in a timely fashion? I mean, Greece was already a member of the EU when that treat was signed back in... 1985, I think?

Re: Four bombs found in Athens

Heh, actually I think they don't mind the open borders, it wouldn't surprise me if they were in favour of free immigration. They could be Eurosceptical, though, but not like the typical Eurosceptics.
