Terrorism in Greece

The U.S. ambassador to Greece, in the mildest of diplomatic language, criticized the Greek government for failing to capture any member of the November 17 terrorist group, which has been active for more than 25 years.

Ambassador R. Nicholas Burns told the Greek newspaper Eleftheros Typos on Sunday, "We're saddened by the fact that not a single person has been arrested in all these years." Mr. Burns, who is leaving Athens to take up the post of ambassador to NATO, noted that U.S. targets have been attacked 30 times since he became ambassador four years ago.

He added that five embassy staff members have been killed and more than 100 injured in attacks attributed to November 17 since 1975. "Terrorism is the most important subject on the agenda of Greek-American discussions," he told the newspaper. The United States has frequently criticized Greece for what it considers a failure to provide effective security against terrorism.
