ATHENS, Greece (CNN) -- Several senior U.S. State Department officials say the initial assessment of Friday's attack on the U.S. Embassy in Athens is that it was launched by "locally grown leftists," not al Qaeda nor another foreign element.
No one was injured in the rocket attack at about 6 a.m. (0400 GMT) on the fortified building, and the only visible damage was a shattered window.
Greek Public Order Minister Vyron Polydoras said a claim that a group called Revolutionary Struggle orchestrated the attack is being investigated after an unidentified person called the embassy and said it was responsible. (Map)
