The bomb, which exploded two days ago in front of the Athenian stock exchange has dozens of kilos of explosive in it, says the results of the experts. According to them, in order for the bomb to cause such damages, there must have been between 15 and 40kg of explosive type ANFO. This substance is a mixture between petrol and ammonia and it was also used by Revolutionary Fight in their attack against Citibank in Kifissia.

For now experts cannot determine how the mechanism of the bomb was done. They did not find any leftovers from the bomb, because it was so strong that even the smallest evidences were wiped out. Despite this, it is believed that the mechanism used in this terrorist attack is the same as the one used in Kifissia in February.

Experts also believe that the used device was "weaker" than the one in Citibank, because this time no gas bottles were used, which before were full of explosives and placed in a car. But for a second time Revolutionary Fight (if the organization really takes responsibility for the terrorist attack) uses a stolen car without changing its license plates. The van, in which the bomb was put, was stolen from Zographou neighborhood near to the University campus, and it had its real plates.

The question is why the new terrorist generation does not use the methods of the old terrorist organization "November 17": to put fake license plates, of not stolen cars, to the stolen cars? Ethnos newspaper writes that according to experts the new generation is ready to do anything and if, for example, the traffic police pulls them over, they will do anything to get away.

Except for finding the explosive of the bomb, the experts also found out that the warning phone call came from the same phone booth in the center of Athens, behind the Polytechnic University. This proves the theory that there is connection between the two terrorist groups or there is a common coordination center. Despite this the police do not connect the two incidents.
