Athens - A gas canister bomb, planted by a group protesting against President Clinton's visit to Greece, destroyed seven cars yesterday while a diplomatic row ignited over Greece's efforts to combat terrorism.
Greek media said a group calling itself Anti-State Action claimed responsibility for the attack on a car dealership, saying it was to "welcome" Mr Clinton, who is due in the city on November 13th.
Greece, meanwhile, said it had formally complained to the US government over a Washington Post article suggesting that the US believed senior Greek officials were reluctant to arrest members of more established urban guerrilla groups. US officials quickly denied the allegation.
