Bomb Blasts Peruvian Embassy In Athens 



ATHENS - A bomb exploded outside a central Athens apartment housing the
Peruvian embassy on Monday and one woman was injured by flying glass,
police said.

They said the bomb had been planted outside the entrance of the
apartment on the second floor of the building and caused slight damage.

The "Guerrilla Fighting Group," a militant leftist group, claimed
responsibility in a telephone call to an Athens newspaper.

The anonymous caller said the attack was staged as a demonstration of
solidarity with the Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement (MRTA) guerrillas
who have been holding 83 hostages in the residence of the Japanese
ambassador in Lima since December 17.

They are pressing for improved conditions for jailed comrades and
recognition of their movement.

Greek police evacuated the building locating the Peruvian embassy which
is a block away from the U.S. embassy.
