The police have recovered a Yugoslavian rocket launcher from a channel in Aspropyrgos. The weapon, which was armed with a rocket, was found in a canal that brings water from the river Mornos.

The police are investigating the possibility that the rocket launcher was used by criminals in the recent attack against New Democracy’s offices on Sygrou Avenue, where an eye-witness reported the presence of an RPG launcher. The police have handed over the launcher to the Greek Army’s bomb squad.
