The Greek leftist guerrilla group Revolutionary Struggle has claimed responsibility for a rocket attack on the US embassy earlier this month.

The group vowed more strikes on politicians and high-security buildings, a local weekly newspaper that received the claim reported.

The group, which has targeted government buildings and a minister in the past four years, has emerged as the biggest domestic security threat since the capture of the November 17 guerrilla group in 2002.
