An initial assessment of the attack on the U.S. Embassy in Athens, Greece, indicates it was launched by "locally grown leftists," not al Qaeda, U.S. State Department officials said today. A local police officer said a rocket-propelled grenade crashed into the third floor and smashed a front window of the embassy.
