Athens Embassy

The United States Embassy in Athens, frequently assaulted by radical groups, was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade Thursday. The State Department says no one was injured by the explosion.

BBC:

Police said a small rocket-propelled grenade or similar device was fired into the front of the embassy.

Fire engines and police cordoned off the area around the fortified building. The US State Department said there were no injuries.

The BBC correspondent in Athens says the US embassy is often the target of small-scale attacks by radical groups.

Many of the attacks are carried out by small groups following in the footsteps of the disbanded November 17 leftist group, says the BBC’s Malcolm Brabant.

‘Flag Operations’ and ‘CIA’ Media Propaganda:
http://www.video.google.com “Terrorstorm”

‘Northwoods’ “DECLASSIFIED” http://www.cia.gov

‘911’ “A New Pearl Harbor” by The Council on Foreign Relations, http://www.cfr.org
“A New North American Community”

‘Gulf of Tomkin’ Viet Nam and 58,000 American Deaths along with 2 million Vietnamese Dead.

History revealed: ‘Bush’ The Unauthorized Biography and Jekyl Island- read-em people, and check the references.

Do we honestly believe that our ‘Masters’ will not murder our troops, innocent people to advance their agenda’s for money, power, and control?

We have been deceived and lied to since 1871, with the incorporation of ‘The United States of America’. With the Emergency War Powers Act, Reconstruction Acts, Federal Reserve Act, and the false ratification of the 16th Amendment. (IRS)

To bad it was not a bigger bomb so that some people will take notice that the USA is not liked.

Could this be Iran’s response for the raid on their embassy in Iraq. Or one of the dozens of other countries that now despise us because of Bu$h Inc.

“The rocket landed in a toilet on the third floor of the building, which also houses Ambassador Charles Ries’s office.

“I am treating this as a very serious attack,” Mr Ries said. “The embassy was attacked in a senseless act of violence.”

It would really have been a diplomatic crisis, if Ries had been taking a crap in that toilet!
