United Press International ATHENS, Greece — Two gunmen on a motor scooter fired seven shots into a U.S. Embassy car at a stop light in rush hour traffic Tuesday, kill ing a senior American naval officer and his Greek driver. In a separate anti-American incident in Athens Tuesday, police said a bomb exploded be neath a car owned by a U.S. citizen, slightly damaging the vehicle. No injuries were re ported. No group immediately claimed responsibility for the killings or the blast, and police said no suspects had been arrested. “Although we don’t know the affiliation of the assassins, the killing has all the earmarks of the work of cowardly, despicable terrorists,” a State Department spokesman said in Washington. Police identified the slain officer as Capt. George Tsantes, 53, a Greek-American from Merchantville, N.J., who was chief of American Naval Mission of the Joint United States Mis sion of Aid to Greece. His driver, Nikos Veloutsos, 46, died later in an Athens hos pital. It was the first assassination of an American official in Greece since Richard Welch, chief of the CIA station in Athens, was shot and killed Dec. 23, 1975. The killers struck as Tsantes was being driven to work through rush hour traffic on the six-lane Athens-Kiffissia high way that links the Greek capital to its northern suburbs. The gunmen pulled up be side Tsantes’ black Plymouth at a stoplight and fired seven rounds from a .45-caliber pistol into the official embassy car. Tsantes was killed instantly by four bullets, two of them in his heart. The driver was shot twice in the abdomen and once in the arm and died after five hours of surgery. A taxi driver who saw the attack said the gunmen sped off toward Athens. Their motor scooter was found abandonc on a side street, police said. Tsantes, who had been Athens since April, is survirt by his wife Thalia, twosonsandi daughter. The killing came six daysai ter security at U.S. bases Greece was increased follow warnings of a possible bomi attack against American militaro personnel, a governmeis spokesman said.
