Greek ex-prime minister hurt as letter bomb explodes in car
ATHENS, Greece — Former Greek Prime Minister Lucas Papademos was injured after a letter bomb exploded inside his car in a central Athens on Thursday in an attack that also left two Bank of Greece employees wounded.
Authorities said all three were conscious and hospitalized in stable condition.
“I unequivocally condemn the attack against Lucas Papademos,” Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, who was attending a NATO summit in Brussels, tweeted from his official account. “I wish a speedy recovery to him and the people who accompanied him.”
Police were on alert to determine whether any other parcel bombs might have been sent out, and were checking postal and courier services.
