Wire reporting: (Reuters, via Daily Maverick)
Greek authorities have arrested two Greek men and an Albanian national they suspect of stealing copper gas pipes from a building, causing a leak that led to an explosion in central Athens on Sept. 25 that killed six people, including four Americans, according to a Reuters report carried by Daily Maverick and Arab News1.
Fire brigade crime-investigation officials said late Thursday that experts concluded the suspects damaged the two-story building’s main natural gas supply hours before the blast as they removed copper pipe parts1.
The explosion occurred early in the morning in the tourist district of Plaka when a resident turned on a light, the report said1.
The suspects were expected to appear before a prosecutor on Friday1.
