    [02] Bakoyianni narrowly escapes assassination attempt (adds)

    13/12/2002 16:21:55

    A lone suspect fired a shotgun at a car carrying Athens Mayor-elect Dora Bakoyianni on Friday, narrowing missing the high-profile New Democracy deputy but hitting her driver.

    A man identified as the suspect was apprehended moments later, while the weapon was also recovered, authorities said.

    The attack occurred just outside Bakoyiannis political office in a fashionable central Athens district, only a few blocks from the main entrance to the Acropolis.

    The driver, identified as a police officer assigned to Bakoyiannis security detail, was injured in the neck and transported to a nearby Athens hospital. His condition was not reported.

    Police have still not announced the suspects name, although he was listed as a local man.

    Initial reports state that the gunman waited outside Bakoyiannis office and fired on the vehicle she was riding in as it drove by, shattering its windows and injuring the driver.

    Bakoyianni, 49, is the eldest child of former premier Constantine Mitsotakis as well as the widow of journalist and politician Pavlos Bakoyiannis, who was assassinated by the notorious "November 17" terrorist group in 1989.
