Greece arrests suspected bombers

Police in Greece say they have arrested more than fifteen suspected members of a left-wing group, the Fighting Guerrilla Formation.

It followed the seizure of explosives and anarchist literature in private homes in the Athens area.

It's the largest single arrest of suspected members of a Greek militant group since the 1970s and the authorities say they are investigating possible links with other groups operating in Greece.

The Fighting Guerrilla Formation has been linked with several bomb attacks within the past two years.
