ATHENS, Nov. 10 (Xinhua) -- The French embassy in central Athens was attacked with a grenade on early Thursday, leaving one Greek police officer slightly injured, according to local media reports.
Eye witnesses said that the attack was carried out by two perpetrators on a motorcycle who fled the scene afterwards, which is opposite to the Greek parliament building.
No group has claimed responsibility yet as the police have cordoned off the area seeking clues to locate the attackers.
Greece has suffered from domestic terrorism for decades.
The attack came a few days ahead of the outgoing U.S. President Barack Obama's visit to Athens on Nov. 15 as part of his Europe tour.
