Greece vows to stop score settling after 2 killed near neo-Nazi office

The Greek government vowed to stop any "settling of scores" after gunmen opened fire outside offices of the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn party in an Athens suburb, killing two men and injuring a third.

Two unknown assailants parked their motorbike close to a local office of the far-right party late on Friday before approaching the victims, firing and then fleeing on the bike, police said.

The two men killed were aged 22 and 25, police said, without giving details on their identities or political affiliation.

Greek media reported that the victims were members of Golden Dawn, which had planned a meeting for Friday night in Neo Iraklio, where the shooting took place.

The pair were hit by three bullets each in the head and chest.

One of them was killed instantly, while the second succumbed to his injuries in hospital, the health ministry said, adding that a third young man was injured and taken to hospital.
