Murder Of Golden Dawn Members Rattles Greece
ATHENS - Crisis-plagued Greece was thrown into further turmoil after two members of the far-right Golden Dawn party were shot dead in what police called a 'terrorist attack' outside one of the organization's offices in Athens.
Two men, described as a 20 and 23-year-old, died instantly in the drive-by shooting, according to a statement released by the extremist group.
'Two helmeted terrorists on a motorbike stopped in front of Golden Dawn's offices in [the northern Athens suburb of] Neo Iraklio while the office was open and a lot of people were [gathered around] its entrance,' said the party.
'The co-rider got off [the bike] and in cold blood executed two young men at a distance of about half a meter. Before leaving the terrorists fired again ? they literally emptied their weapons [of bullets] on top of them.'
