This just in from the Daily Mail;
Gunmen sprayed Athens riot police with automatic weapons fire today, seriously wounding a policeman in an escalation of violence that broke out after the fatal police shooting of a teenager last month.
Police said one of the weapons fired by the attackers had been used previously by the extremist group Revolutionary Struggle, which claimed responsibility for a 2007 attack on the U.S. Embassy in Athens.
No one was hurt in the embassy attack but the U.S. State Department offered a $1 million reward for information leading to the capture of the attackers.
Authorities said more than 30 shots from a 9 mm weapon and an automatic rifle were fired early Monday at three riot policemen standing guard outside the Culture Ministry.
Ballistics tests showed the 9 mm weapon had also been used in an April 30, 2007, police station attack that was claimed by the Revolutionary Struggle extremist group.
The group had also claimed the January 2007 attack on the American Embassy.
Greek police chief Lt. Gen. Vassilis Tsiatouras said the Kalashnikov-type rifle used Monday had also been used before - in an attack on a police bus last month as it passed a university campus. No one on the bus was injured.
Masked protesters have frequently attacked police with gasoline bombs and rocks in the outburst of rage that followed the fatal shooting of a 15-year-old boy on December 6.
The riots were the worst the country has seen in decades. But none of those attacks had caused serious injuries.
Monday's shooting severely wounded 21-year-old policeman Diamandis Matzounis. The hospital where he was being treated listed him in critical but stable condition.
Stratos Mavroidakos, head of a police officers' association, said the riots last month had cultivated an atmosphere of hatred against police.
'People were instigated into taking this action by the prevailing climate,' he said, referring to the near daily violent demonstrations in which youths chanting 'cops, pigs, murderers' clashed with riot police.
'This is what happens when you have 12-year-old children at demonstrations calling police 'murderers.' ... These events have set us back 20 years,' he said.
Several shadowy left-wing Greek extremist groups have been active in Greece in recent years. Their attacks usually are small bombings that rarely cause deaths.
The socialists are solely to blame for this environment and have no way to seperate themselves by labelling these groups as extremists; socialism is leftism is multiculturalism is Marxism. It is both the civilian left and the political left which must be eradicated from our streets and governments. The latter uses the former to achieve a political end and the results are tragic and suicidal for western society as a whole. Let us not forget the fact that leftists have decided to replace traditional European culture as well as ethnic European people with barbaric immigrants in order to achieve their political desire for a classless utopia. This has been demonstrated countless times with leftist criminals alongside muslims who shout Allah Akhbar while committing violence across European streets. There total disdain for anyone, including their own countrymen, for anyone who does not subscribe to the Marxist pipe dream has become disgustingly obvious.
The time for street level and governmental level organization is now upon us. We must use these trying times to motivate our fellow countrymen to rise up and smash this suicidal ideology with all the strength we can muster. The simple fact is that the attempted genocide of Europe is well underway and we can no longer ignore it less we wish to perish or live under authoritarian lunacy. Actions, not words will save us all from descending into this hell.
