Share

Four American servicemen were among at least 11 people injured when a bomb exploded in a bar in an Athens suburb. A police spokesman said the bomb destroyed Oscar’s, a popular hangout for off-duty American servicemen near the U.S. base at Hellenikon Airport in suburban Glyfada, a seaside suburb 11 miles south of Athens. No individual or group claimed responsibility. The four Americans, as well as five Greeks and two Britons, were treated for cuts and puncture wounds. Witnesses said about 25 people were at the bar when the bomb went off. The blast blew debris into the street and shattered windows in nearby buildings.
