A 38-year-old woman died early Saturday in Thessaloniki when a bomb she was carrying detonated before she could place it outside a bank, according to Greek police.
The incident occurred around 5 a.m. in the northern Greek city. Authorities said the explosion caused damage to several nearby storefronts and vehicles.
The woman, who has not been publicly identified, had a prior criminal record involving drug offenses, prostitution, robbery, and theft. Greek police suspect she may have been linked to extreme leftist groups, though this remains under investigation.
The country’s organized crime division has taken over the case, probing both the motive and possible accomplices.
Greece has a long history of politically motivated violence and has seen sporadic bombings and targeted attacks in recent years, often attributed to organized crime or domestic extremist groups. While such incidents typically cause property damage, fatalities are rare.
