Bomb blast outside Greek prison
http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/47844000/gif/_47844881_greece_athens_0409.gif
A bomb has exploded outside a maximum security prison near the Greek capital, Athens, police say.
The blast in Korydallos followed a telephone warning to an Athens newspaper, officials said.
One report says a woman has been injured in the blast, but this has not been confirmed.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but correspondents say suspicion will fall on radical left-wing Greek militant groups.
Athens has seen recent violent protests as the government unveiled tough austerity measures designed to tackle Greece's huge budget deficit.
The BBC's Malcolm Brabant in Athens says that if it turns out to be the work of left-wing guerrillas, it would be a sign that they intend to keep up their violent campaign against the government's austerity programme.
Greek media reported that the device had been hidden in a travel bag.
The powerful blast was heard in the centre of Athens several kilometres away.
Police launched an investigation and sealed off a street next to the prison.

Regardless of whether it's provocateurs or not, individual terrorism and guerrilla warfare are not the tactics of the working class.

How is this "proper"? What has "urban guerrilla warfare" to offer to the working class?

Do you know if there's anything else going on in Greece along with the bombings and fights, any radical leftist groups circulating literature or anything like that?

one is carried out during a demo in a more open context, the other is fully clandestine.

Its funny to see all the air chair's denounce people risking there lives to overthrow the greek state. Worker fetishism, if your anything but a marxist-leninist your anti-worker by there logic.

It's more funny to see what people interpret as "overthrowing the state".

What do you think Anarchists we mean by class war?
You take direct action, you don't sit around and
denounce every action and discuss fucking theory all
damn day. Comrades get locked up, you try to break
them the fuck out, this was a failed attempt but
I won't denounce those who are willing to fight the state
to get there friends/comrades back.
Don't you have a party to build or something, because
you know, in the first world its been working out
so well.

"For revolutionaries it is psychologically quite difficult, if not impossible, to raise their voices against the futile application of 'revolutionary justice' by terroristic groups and individuals. Even Marx, who despised all forms nihilistic actions, could not help being elated by the terroristic feats of the Russian 'Peoples’ Will' As a matter of fact, the counter-terror of revolutionary groups cannot be prevented by mere recognition of its futility. Their perpetrators are not moved by the conviction that their actions will lead directly to social change, but by their inability to accept the unchallenged, the perpetual terror of the bourgeoisie unchallenged. And once engaged in illegal terror, the legal terror forces them to continue their activities until the bitter end. This type of people is itself product of the class-ridden society and a response to its increasing brutalization. There is no sense in forming a consensus with the bourgeoisie and condemning their activities from proletarian point of view. It is enough to recognize their futility and to look for more effective ways to overcome the ever-present capitalist terror by the class actions of the proletariat." - Paul Mattick

Attempting to break free anarchist (or any) prisoners is a great thing, we shouldn't just let the state arrest our friends and loved ones (or let them arrest anyone for that matter).
But bombing a courthouse, or other buildings, without a specific goal is just idiot. Do they want more people to be killed by anarchists or what?

But on a more serious note, yeah, urban guerrilla groups in Greece are well known for getting buildings evacuated before the bomb goes off. The precision and care most urban guerrilla groups from the left undertake sets them apart from far rightist terror actions. Security forces in the west are well aware of that as well.

Because there is a constructive aim in this exercise, which is to free comrades who have been imprisoned by the state. This has nothing to do with smashing things just for fun. :rolleyes:

Wich doesn't change the fact that if you start burning down and bombing buildings, you will eventually hurt and kill people.

Oh don't get me wrong, I'm not in favour of randomly burning down the buildings of institutions we don't like. I'm personally more in favour of occupation, or the destruction of digital equipment most modern banks thrive on. This is far more effective and don't hurt working people. But the cautiousness of Greek urban guerrilla groups is a well known fact I'm merely pointing out.
