Police said an anonymous caller alerted authorities to the timer-activated bomb, in the Aghia Paraskevi suburb, early Wednesday, Dec 10. Authorities cordoned off the area, and destroyed the device in a controlled explosion. The caller, who gave a 30-minute warning, said the attack was in solidarity for Nikos Romanos, an anarchist, who has refused to take food since Nov 10 and is in an Athens hospital. On Wednesday, Romanos' lawyer said he was going to stop drinking too. Authorities have rejected Romanos' bids to attend university classes.
