“Nihilist Cores” Says It Is Responsible For Grenade Attack Against SKAI Tv

A new terrorist group that calls itself “Nihilist Cores”, claimed responsibility for a grenade attack against the SKAI television station that took place early on Saturday July 12th.

According to a police report that was featured in the To Vima newspaper, a security guard noticed the grenade underneath a car that was parked outside the television station's offices. The counter-terrorism police and other authorities concluded that the grenade was a training dummy without a detonator.

In their manifesto, which was published online, claims the article in To Vima, the group notes that the intention of attack was to draw attention to the ongoing debate regarding prisoner rights and the plans for the new “Type C” maximum security prison facilities.

Also, the group also notes its solidarity to imprisoned members of the Conspiracy of Fire Cells group, the international FAI/IRF network and the “fugitive urban guerrilla Christodoulos Xiros”. Apparently the recent arrest of terrorist Nikos Maziotis was yet another reason for this group to "intensify" its attacks.
