"Threats fulfilled: Greek journalist slain" by Associated Press | July 20, 2010
ATHENS — A Greek journalist was gunned down in a predawn attack outside his home yesterday by suspected members of a Greek terrorist group that had vowed to target the media, police said....
Is that right?
Sixteen bullet casings recovered from the scene matched two 9-millimeter weapons used by the Greek terrorist group Sect of Revolutionaries, police said in a statement.
Oh, well, I'm convinced.
The group emerged after Greece was hit by widespread rioting in December 2008, sparked by the police’s fatal shooting of a teenage boy.
Oh, AM I EVER SMELLING a GOVERNMENT-CREATED and DIRECTED STENCH!!

"Greece fears resurgence of terrorism after journalist’s slaying" by Niki Kitsantonis, International Herald Tribune | July 22, 2010
Un-flipping-real!!!
ATHENS — When Socrates Giolias, a little-known journalist and blogger, was killed outside his home in a gang-style shooting early Monday, homicide detectives began to work on the case amid speculation that it was a reprisal by shady underworld figures.
Why would they even bother?
But several hours later, counterterrorism officers joined the investigation after tests on the cartridge cases of the 16 bullets fired at Giolias were linked to weapons used in attacks by Greece’s deadliest active guerrilla group, the Sect of Revolutionaries.
Yeah, give all revolutions a bad name, too.
You propagandists couldn't come up with a better name?
Now the killing has led the authorities to fear a resurgence of domestic terrorism, a scourge that has haunted Greece since the early 1970s and has seen a gradual revival over the past year and a half with the emergence of several new militant organizations.
The NEW GLADIO, huh?
An official at the Greek police headquarters, which was a target last month when a letter bomb killed the assistant to the public order minister, confirmed Tuesday that the force was treating Giolias’s killing as a terrorist act.
The official, who was not authorized to speak publicly, did not give any details about the investigation but said the 16 cartridge casings found at the scene of the shooting had been fired from two 9mm pistols used in previous attacks in Athens that were claimed by the Sect of Revolutionaries....
You would think they might start using different weapons, no?
Killings of journalists are rare in Greece.
Which makes this EVEN MORE SUSPICIOUS and STINKY!!
The last one was in 1985, when the Marxist guerrilla group November 17, now disbanded, shot Nikos Momferatos, publisher of a conservative newspaper.
Oh, "leftists," huh?
But the Sect of Revolutionaries had warned that journalists were on its hit list. In a proclamation issued in February of last year, the group accused the media of “manufacturing news to keep the public docile and subservient.’’
That last part is right, a hallmark of government deceptions.
Mix some truth in so that anyone who agrees is a "terrorist."
“Journalists, this time we came to your door, next time you will find us in your homes,’’ the document said, referring to the armed attack on the private television channel, in which no one was hurt.
The reason Giolias was targeted remains unclear, although some websites have linked him to comments critical of militant groups.
They were worried about a little-known, know-nothing blogger?
And why is the AmeriKan MSM interested in this above all else, including Greece's debt crisis?
