ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greek police have arrested a third suspect in connection with an explosion in central Athens last week that authorities have blamed on an alleged aspiring domestic extremist group. Authorities say a 30-year-old woman surrendered to Greek authorities at Athens International Airport after being located in Switzerland. The blast on Oct. 31 gutted a third-floor apartment, killing a 36-year-old man believed to have been assembling an explosive device. A 33-year-old woman was severely injured and remains hospitalized under police guard. A 31-year-old male suspect had previously surrendered to authorities. Greece has a history of far-left extremism dating to the 1970s.
