On Monday, an obscure group – Urban Guerrilla (Antartiko Poleon) – claimed responsibility for placing a bomb on Athens metro.
In two calls to Skai and Mega television stations, the group said it had planted the device and members were planning more attacks. Police officials had no immediate comment on whether they considered the claim to be genuine.
The bomb and the device were randomly discovered by the railcar driver, while making the usual check of the wagons before starting his shift.
The device, which was not activated, contained two small gas canisters with about 1.5l of petrol, a timer, wires and batteries, police said on Sunday.
