New Terrorist Group Popular Rebels Claims Attack Against German Ambassador's Residence

A terrorist group called Popular Rebels on Tuesday claimed responsibility for an attack against the German ambassador’s residency in Halandri, which took place on December 30, 2013. This is the same group that claimed the attack against New Democracy’s central offices on Sygrou Avenue in January 2013.

The declaration, which was sent to the To Pontiki weekly newspaper, the group speaks about a rocket attack against the Mercedes-Benz facilities in the area of Varibobi (north of Athens), which was not known by the press until now, because it had not been reported by police authorities. The group reveals that the attack occurred on January 12, 2013 and explained that it was not reported either because the RPG did not detonate as expected, or the authorities made a “miserable attempt” to cover up the attack.

In the declaration, the group also mentions the armed attack against the German ambassador’s residence in memory of Dimitris Christoulas, who tragically committed suicide in public on Syntagma Square in April of 2012. The group states that their militant attacks are “in full compliance with the people’s sense of justice” and warned of future attacks during the Greek presidency of the EU.
