ATHENS, March 30 (Xinhua) -- Greek terrorist group " Revolutionary National Socialist Front" claimed on Tuesday responsibility for Sunday's bomb attack in the central Athens which caused the death of a 15-year-old Afghan boy and serious injury of his 10-year-old sister.

In a new development for local guerrilla groups which operate in Greece for years and mostly are anarchist and far-Left, the new terrorist group is pro-racist and targets immigrants on purpose, as well as political and financial targets. That is the first conclusion of counter-terrorism experts based on a statement released on an internet site.

"In Greece in 2010 we are in danger of ending up as foreigners in our own country ... Greek governments have no policy on migration ... We will not accept this situation. Not at Patisia nor anywhere else. For their sake and ours, foreigners leave every district," said the statement which concluded with a warning that in the future no gathering in a mosque should be considered safe in Athens.

The perpetrators did not confirm police estimations that the Afghan teenager is a victim of a tragic mistake made by whoever is responsible, but stressed that they do not apologize for any death. "We are at war and in wars even minors die," the statement said.

Greek police still have not confirmed the authenticity of the claim of responsibility, as just a few hours earlier on Tuesday another group "Guerrilla Group Lambros Fountas" also claimed responsibility for the same attack with a phone call to a Greek newspaper.
