Last night (Friday October 2) at about 8.15pm, a low-intensity bomb went off only a few meters away from the podium where PM Karamanlis was delivering his last speech, signalling the end of the pre-election period (elections are on Sunday the 4th).
A lengthy communiqué published on Athens IMC claims responsibility for the attack by the group “Conspiracy of the Cells of Fire”. It was the members of this group that were allegedly arrested on September 24 (see these posts for more details of the case). The writers of today’s communiqué, however, deny the police claims, they describe the placing of yesterday’s bomb in detail and send their revolutionary greetings to Alfredo Bonnano and his 46-year old Greek comrade, Christos Stratigopoulos, both arrested and charged with a bank robbery in the northern city of Trikala on Thursday.

Could somebody please translate the communique to english? I took a glimpse to it with google translator but it is really hard to make a translation from that.
