Unknown assailants have killed a Greek journalist overnight in front of his Athens house, the Greek police report.

According to police information, the killers made the man step outside the house by notifying him someone was stealing his car and then shot him and fled in an automobile.

The forensic team found 20 bullet shells at the crime scene.

One of the leads in the murder is the extremist group “Revolution Sect,” which, in the beginning of 2009, became notorious for the shooting at a police precinct, killing one officer. Several months later, its members attacked a private TV channel and threatened to “kill all journalists.”
