One week after the July 19 assassination of journalist Sokratis Giolias, Greek terrorist movement Revolutionary Sect has delivered a letter to Ta Nea, claiming responsibility for the act. A “display of force and new threats", headlines the daily. In a scathing missive, members of the group, which sprang up after the 2008 riots, have declared they are armed and have issued death threats to named journalists and press chiefs alike. The centre-left daily considers this list to be reminiscent of the methods used by 17 November, the terrorist organisation active from the fall of the regime of the colonels in 1974 through 2003, claiming 25 assassinations.
