    [02] Bomber apparently linked with November 17 organization

    Greek police have apparently linked the bomb explosion at the ticket office of the Greek Flying Dolphin shipping Company in Piraeus on Saturday evening and the apprehension of the suspected bomber injured in the blast to the November 17 terrorist organization.

    According to reports, the evidence collected so far point to the elusive terrorist group, while the head of the Greek police force (EL.AS) revealed yesterday during a nationally televised briefing that a revolver found near the injured body of Savvas Xiros, 40, late Saturday evening was taken from policeman, Hristos Matis, killed during a 1984 Christmas Eve bank robbery in central Athens

    Unconfirmed information say that instruction leaflets for the construction of bombs were found in Savvas Xiros house while an explosive device and a loaded gun were found in his workshop.

    Police said they were questioning the man s girlfriend, Alicia Romero, a Spanish citizen , two men who used to visit him at his workshop and a couple who went to hospital to ask about his condition.
