Greece: 5 jailed for militant anarchist attacks




ATHENS, Greece (AP) — A Greek court on Wednesday convicted five people on terrorism-related charges related to a militant anarchist group which claimed responsibility for a string of bombings over six years and fired a rocket-propelled grenade into the U.S. Embassy in Athens but caused no deaths.

Nobody died in the attacks by the group, which was active between 2003 and 2009, thought if shot and severely injured a riot policeman in 2009, and several other people suffered minor injuries in other attacks.

Authorities have jailed half a dozen convicted members of the most prolific of these groups, Conspiracy Nuclei of Fire, while about 20 more suspected members face terrorism charges.
