The Anarchist Attack Consortium [AKE; Anarchikís Koinopraxías Epíthesis] was a short-lived Greek anarchist militant outfit. It planted a bomb outside a bank in Athens’ Halandri suburb on Dec. 10, 2014. Police defused the bomb after members of the group had warned of an impending attack in telephone calls to newspapers.¹ About two weeks later, the AKE claimed responsibility for the incident in a message posted on an anarchist website.² The group expressed solidarity with imprisoned anarchist militant Nikos Romanos who was on a hunger strike at the time.³

Due to clear tactical similarities, the authorities believed that the AKE was closely connected to the Conspiracy of the Cells of Fire [SPF; Synomosía ton Pyrínon tis Fotías], the December 6 Revolutionary Organization [EOED; Epanastatikís Orgánosis Éxi Dekémvri], the Forces of the Revolutionary Arc [DET; Dynámeis tou Epanastatikoú Tóxou] and the Revolutionary Overthrow Cell [RO; Epanastatikí Anatropí].⁴
