Similarities with the hit at the Ministry of Labor at Stadium 14 months ago, and specifically, on February 3, 2024, are looking for authorities after a bomb explosion outside the Hellenic Train offices on Syngrou Avenue at 9:30 pm on Friday night.

The blow was then signed by the “revolutionary class self -defense” with the Modus Operandi being the same, however, the bomb that exploded yesterday at the Hellenic Train offices was low power and even when there was a lot of people on the road.

The bomb was detected by the TEEM in a backpack, hanging on a placard -free scooter outside the Hellenic Train offices, however, firefighters were unable to proceed with a controlled explosion as the mechanism exploded in the time reported in the warning call.

According to police sources, the mechanism exploded is unknown so far.

That the principles move

The point of the explosion remained excluded for many hours with the anti -terrorist collecting even the smaller fragments to send them to ELAS forensic laboratories to detect fingerprints and DNA.

In addition, they gather anything that exists from the spot and from the surrounding streets in order to chart the movements of the perpetrators of the attack and to find out which itinerary followed by the perpetrators and from what direction they moved after leaving the backpack with the mechanism.

Important are the eyewitnesses and the workers in the area who are likely to have noticed something remarkable shortly before the explosion.

The moment of the explosion

A visual material has already been released in which the great shine has been recorded just when the explosive mechanism is activated and which caused minor damage.

The timing of the attack

It all started when authorities were notified that a man phoned a site and newspaper where he said a bomb had been placed outside the Hellenic Train offices and was going to explode in 35-40 minutes. In fact, he warned that this was not a farce.

It immediately sounded an alarm in the anti -terrorist where it went to the spot. The bomb had been locked with a padlock on a scooter. Although TEEM men were preparing to “neutralize” the explosive device, they did not catch up.

Hellenic Train announcement

Announcement on the sidelines of the incident was issued by the company, stressing, among other things, that this way of expression has no place in society.
