Hellenic Train: Suspicious movements recorded on camera – audio documentary from the explosion
Anti -Terrorism examines the video From the cameras in the area around the offices of the Hellenic Train, at the junction of Syngrou Avenue with Petmeza Street in Koukaki, to identify the movements of those who placed the explosive device on Friday night.
According to preliminary estimates, this is a timely explosive mechanism of low power and the definitive answers are expected to be given by the state chemistry that have been sent samples.
The most likely scenario of the data so far is that gelatinodynamitis was selected and certainly a much smaller amount of explosives than the Stadiou Street bomb attack in February 2024.
Video records the explosion
The suspicious movements recorded on a camera
Reportedly there is a vitapping material that shows a man leaving a bag on the spot, but having his facial features covered.
There are many cameras at the site and their material is in the hands of the authorities, but it is unlikely that the perpetrators made the mistake of not taking action to show their characteristics.
It is still unknown that they approached the space and how they left and at the moment all the scenarios are being examined even the case of METRO, although this seems difficult as an option as they carried an active bomb.
The perpetrators, it seems, did not want to cause casualties but to hit a strong symbolism with an obvious connection to the Tempi case. Damages from the explosion – Pyrotechnicians did not have the time needed to proceed with a controlled explosion – they are small and limited.
A small crater on the sidewalk, some broken glass and the investment in the mezzanine of the building and a parked vehicle.
Sound documentary
The sound of the explosion that was strong enough was recorded in the video below:
The backpack that the explosive mechanism was mounted was locked with a padlock and passed with a kid’s hose near the Hellenic Train offices, so that a passerby would not open it.
The backpack with the explosive mechanism
From the explosion the mechanism has been dissolved like the backpack and the pieces that the firefighters and the forensic and anti -terrorism step have been able to collect.
Hellenic Train had been informed that it is target – no guards out of the building
Authorities are also wondering why the Hellenic Train had not taken protection measures and had no guardians to patrol the building although it had been warned many times that it was a possible target.
In Kallirois there was a patrol that had a visual on Petmeza Street for static guard as the Hellenic Train facilities had been targeted in the past, but police did not realize anything as people were constantly passing.
The time
An unknown person phoned the Zougla website and the « Editors’ Journal » at 8:53 pm on Friday night and said a bomb had been placed outside the offices of the Hellenic Train in Syngrou, giving a 35-40-minute time and stressing that it is not a farce.
The police were immediately informed and in a short time the traffic was interrupted, the building was evacuated by people, as well as the nearby hotel and the police removed passers -by.
Firewriters of the Department of Explosive Mechanisms were also called to the spot, as he was considered a serious threat from the first moment, while police found police at the contribution of L. Syngrou with Petmeza Street, the suspected backpack with the lock, which confirmed their fears.
Eventually half an hour after 9pm the bomb exploded, with no injuries except for limited material damage. Of course, firefighters did not have time to control and neutralize.
The Anti -Terrorism also awaits the official assumption of responsibility for the blow, but it is noted that the similarities with the explosion at the Ministry of Labor at Stadium in February 2024 are being considered whose responsibility was assumed by the organization « Revolutionary Class Autombs ».
