Английская Википедия:1987 Greece bus attacks
Шаблон:Infobox civilian attack The 1987 Greece bus attacks refer to two separate attacks committed by the 17 November Group on buses carrying American military personnel near Athens, Greece.[1]
The first attack, on April 24, 1987, wounded 16 Americans (four of which were civilians) and two Greeks (the bus driver and a civilian car driver nearby). A Hellenic Air Force bus was transporting American servicemen from a Greek base to the American-operated Hellenikon Air Base when a remote-controlled car bomb exploded, causing the bus to lose control and hit a tree. It was initially reported the bus was hit by a rocket attack. The chief of Greece's police called it a "well-planned crime". Greek Prime Minister Andreas Papandreou condemned the attack.[2]
The second attack happened on August 10, 1987, and injured 11 Americans (one a female civilian) and the Greek bus driver. The attack happened near Voula beach to the south of Athens and was again caused by a remote-controlled car bomb on the road the bus was travelling on.[3][4]
The far-left 17 November Group had previously launched attacks against American targets in Greece.[5]
