Athens: Unidentified gunmen fired shots at the Israeli embassy in Athens Friday without causing any casualties, police said.
The attack took place after midnight when four men on two motorcycles fired Kalashnikov automatic rifles at the facade and the walls of the diplomatic building, according to an initial police report.
The police found 54 shell casings and cordoned off the area to search for more clues. They were also studying video recordings taken by the surveillance cameras to try to identify the attackers.
A similar incident occurred a year ago at the residence of the German ambassador in Athens with authorities blaming the attack on the Popular Fighters Group leftist terrorist organisation.
