On 2 September 1970, Cypriot Georgios Tsikouris and Elena-Maria Angeloni, members of the ‘Aris Velouchiotis’ organisation, which worked together with the Pan-Hellenic Anti-Dictatorship Front of Milan, attempted to place a bomb in the US Embassy building in Athens. However, the time-bomb went off early and they both died. It should be noted that Angeloni’s nephew, Carlo Giuliani, was murdered by a police officer in the summer of 2001 during the protests in Genoa.
