 The ELA claimed scores of attacks from the mid-1970s to the mid-90s |
Four convicted members of Greece's oldest armed militant group have been cleared of a series of bombings. Two suspected members were also acquitted. The attacks, between 1985 and 1995, were blamed on the far-left People's Revolutionary Struggle (ELA).
The four convicted ELA members are already serving long jail terms for other offences, and those sentences are not affected by Friday's acquittal.
The ELA was founded after the fall of the Greek military regime in 1975.
It and a separate organisation known as November 17 were considered the country's biggest domestic security threats ahead of last year's Athens Olympic Games.
The judges on Friday unanimously cleared Yiannis Serifis and Michalis Kassimis.
The other four accused - Angeletos Kanas, Costas Agapiou, Irene Athanasaki and Christos Tsigaridas - were cleared on majority verdicts.
At their trial in October for separate offences, all four were sentenced to 25 years in jail for involvement in bombings and attempted murder.
