Explosion At U.S. Embassy In Athens
"Greek Police Say Blast Was 'Act of Terrorism'"

Authorities say streets around the United States Embassy compound in Athens have been cordoned off after an apparent explosion inside the embassy building.

State-run NET television in Greece, quoting eyewitness reports, say the noise was heard inside the main embassy building.

Officials in Greece say there are indications the apparent blast was caused by a rocket.

"This is an act of terrorism. We don't know where from. There was a shell that exploded in the toilets of the building... It was fired from street level," said Asimakis Golfis, chief of police for the Attica peninsula on which Athens is located. " LINK
