Attackers shoot and wound two Greek policemen

ATHENS (Reuters) - Unknown attackers shot and seriously wounded two Greek policemen in central Athens late on Thursday, police said.

Police have been targeted by left-wing groups since the fatal police shooting of a teenager in December sparked Greece's worst riots in decades, shaking the conservative government.

"Unknown assailants shot and seriously wounded two policemen," a police statement said.

A police official, who declined to be named, said it was not clear whether the shooting was politically motivated.
