Three Arrested in Athens Bombing Case

Greek police have arrested three individuals linked to an explosion in central Athens on October 31, attributed to a potential emerging domestic extremist group. The blast occurred in a third-floor apartment, resulting in the death of a 36-year-old male suspect and severe injuries to a 33-year-old woman, who remains hospitalized under police guard. Authorities have seized significant evidence, including handguns, disguises, and handwritten diagrams, indicating a possible plot for domestic terrorism. Minister of Citizen Protection Michalis Chrisochoidis described the suspects as young people aiming to establish a new generation of terrorism in Greece, reflecting concerns over rising extremism. Ongoing investigations are focused on determining the intended target and motive behind the plot, with further arrests anticipated. Greece has a history of left-wing extremist violence, though recent years have seen a decline in such incidents.
