A Greek anarchist group claimed responsibility Thursday for more than a dozen parcel bombs sent to European leaders and embassies. The attacks caused widespread alarm earlier this month, reports said.
In a 13-page proclamation, the group Conspiracy of Cells, claimed responsibility for parcel bombs sent to eight embassies in the Greek capital. They also were responsible for parcel bombs sent to President Nicholas Sarkozy of France, Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and the International Court of Justice in The Hague.
In total, fourteen parcel bombs shaped into books were sent in the first week of November. The group stated that nothing will stand in their way of carrying out revolution and armed violence.
Two members of the group were detained hours after the first parcel that was addressed to the Mexican Embassy in Athens, exploded in a port office.
