Inmates at Korydallos Prison hold protest over 'bomber' transfer

A protest by inmates at Attica's high-security Korydallos Prison ended on Tuesday after around five hours.

The protest, which involved convicted members of the guerrilla group Conspiracy of the Cells of Fire, was held to express solidarity with Constantinos Giagtzoglou, the 29-year-old terrorist suspect who was transferred from Korydallos to a Larissa penitentiary on Saturday.

Police said that they have matched the DNA of a 29-year-old man accused of sending several letter bombs to foreign and Greek targets to DNA found on remnants of a device that exploded in the hands of former prime minister Lucas Papademos in May and on similar devices intercepted by police at a Hellenic Post sorting center near Athens in March.
