Greece Sees Terrorist Links in Golden Dawn Murders

ATHENS (AFP)- Greek authorities believe an extremist group may be behind a drive-by shooting outside the offices of the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn party in which two men were killed and another wounded, sources close to the investigation said. Investigators are examining 'all avenues, particularly those that link these events to extremist groups' behind a series of attacks on politicians, police, banks and the media, according to one source. Attacks by groups describing themselves as revolutionary and anti-authoritarian are relatively common in Greece. They are not usually fatal, although in 2009 a police officer was killed by three unknown gunmen in Athens and in 2010 a journalist was shot dead at his home. Both killings were claimed by the Sect of Revolutionaries, an extremist group.
