| A Greek militant group that opened fire outside a television station in Athens last week has issued a statement in which it threatens to kill journalists.
The group, Sect of Revolutionaries, first appeared earlier this month when it opened fire with a submachine gun on an Athens police station, spraying the precinct with bullets but injuring nobody.
It claimed that attack was to avenge the death of a teenager killed by police in December in an incident that sparked Greece's worst riots in decades.
On Tuesday, the group carried out a similar attack in the parking lot of the private Alter television station, again causing no injuries.
In a statement published by the daily Ta Nea on Saturday, the group says its latest attack was a message to journalists that "the time that you were 'untouchable' is over."
It accuses the media of manufacturing news and attempting to ensure the public remains obedient to the state.
"They manipulate our minds daily so that we fill the reserves of our disciplined time with values and functions that feed the system," the group says, adding: "Let the slugs of media journalism know that apart from the mucus they leave behind them ... soon they will also leave blood."
