ATHENS: Greek police shot and wounded one of Greece’s most wanted guerrilla group members in a chase through central Athens yesterday in which a policeman and two tourists were also hurt.
Nikos Maziotis was charged in 2010 over a series of attacks claimed by the Revolutionary Struggle group, including firing a rocket propelled grenade at the US embassy in Athens in 2007 and a 2009 car bomb that damaged the Athens stock exchange.
“His arrest is undoubtedly a very big success,” Public Order Minister Vassilis Kikilias told a news conference broadcast live on Greek television. REUTERS
