A previously unknown group has claimed responsibility for a bombing in Athens that wounded 13 people, including four U.S. servicemen, according to Greek police. They said a woman telephoned a left-wing Athens newspaper to claim that Saturday’s attack at Oscar’s bar was the work of the Revolutionary Popular Solidarity organization and was aimed at Americans “to show solidarity with the people of Palestine and Nicaragua.” The four Americans, stationed at the nearby Hellenikon Air Base, were slightly injured. Two Greeks and a young British woman remained hospitalized with burns and cuts.
