I really hope this is an accident. Or something.

(Apparently, this was less than an hour ago.)

I tried looking for more information, but can't find any. It'll probably be a while.

It's sad that crazy, violent people seem to have such an easy time finding weapons and other nutjobs who want to support them.

Greece has always had both a large Muslim minority and Anti-American Communist groups. But the Muslim minority has little history of Islamism, much less violence, and the Communists are pretty much has-beens. Still one individual can do a lot of ill.

I would have thought an attack more likely from Greek Nationalists angry at U.S. surport of Turkish membership in the E.U. Strange sort of group to be both anti-U.S. and anti-E.U. as well as "Leftist." Sounds more like those Nihilists who were always bombing things int the nineteeth century than any modern group, but I doubt any reincarnated Nihilists are responsible.
