The World : Grenades Hurt 18 in Athens

Share

Eighteen British tourists were injured, six of them seriously, when a man threw two hand grenades into the swimming pool and poolside area of a Greek hotel. Among those injured in the attack at the Glyfada Hotel near Athens were a dozen deaf people. Police said they think the attack was linked to the arrest last week of a Palestinian carrying a suitcase full of weapons near the Jordanian Embassy in Athens. A woman telephoned a Greek newspaper to say that unless the Palestinian was released, the Black September guerrilla group “would fill Athens with bombs.”
