"(Prime Minister Antonis) Samaras's anti-Greek government is to blame for the crime, which allowed out-of-control terrorists to murder young kids in cold blood," the party said in a statement.

No one has claimed responsibility for the attack, although a police official told Reuters the force suspected unnamed anti-establishment groups.
