Athens Embassy Explosion

Some ruckus news coming out of Athens:

An explosion ripped through the U.S. embassy compound in central Athens on Friday, police said.

It was not clear what caused the blast and there was no immediate word on whether there were any casualties.

"We are investigating the cause of the explosion. We are not ruling anything out," a senior police official told Reuters.

Dozens of police cars surrounded the embassy and police cordoned off all roads in the area, including a major boulevard in front of the mission.

"Police have cut off all traffic. I am standing right here but there does not seem to be any damage. Greece's anti-terror squad are now investigating inside the embassy," a U.S. embassy employee at the scene told Reuters.

That doesn't sound too bad, now does it? A bit lame if it was terrorism. It's been some decades since we've made any emotional investment in our embassies. Attacking them doesn't hurt our feelings and just makes the terrorist look too poor to afford to travel to our soil -- unless he could get here by donkey cart or something.

UPDATE:
Oh, no! Dear God in heaven, they're blowning up our toilets.

UPDATE II:
Today the commodes in a third-floor restroom give mute testimony to the deadly accuracy of the terrorists. Their incredible shit-seeking missiles have stunned the world.

Given the political climate in Greece, it could be moonbats.

That wouldn't surprise me.

Does this mean that even though the moonbats that fired whatever it was that hit the embassy really couldn't hit shit even though they tried?
