Three Men Charged With Arson and Homicide Over Deadly Athens Gas Blast
Greek authorities have arrested three men in connection with the September 25 explosion in Athens' Plaka district that killed six people. The suspects, two Greeks and one Albanian, face charges for intentionally damaging a natural gas line while stealing copper pipes, which caused a gas leak that ignited when a resident turned on a light. The blast collapsed a two-story building, killing four American tourists and an elderly British-Greek couple. Investigators are examining security footage and communications data to determine how the gas ignited, with the suspects set to appear before a magistrate.
