Right now he is in the intensive care of the Evagelismos hospital.

The Greek police is suspecting the “Conspiracy of Fire Nuclei”.

According to the terrorist organization’s tactics, the police is expecting more bombs, as they never send one bomb at the time.

The bomb squad has cleared the area in order to thoroughly check the car.

The parcel-bomb explosion has made news all over the world with foreign TV channels interrupting their program to inform their viewers.

According to what Mr. Papademos said before he went to the hospital, the name of the sender of the parcel appeared to be the Academy of Athens, Greece’s national academy.

Mr. Papademas holds currently the position of the President of the Academy.
