[REUTERS] Two members of Greece's far-right Golden Dawn party were killed in a drive-by shooting outside the movement's offices in Athens on Friday, raising fears of an escalation of political violence in the crisis-wracked country.The men, both in their 20s, were bumped off at a time of growing public anger against Golden Dawn and a government crackdown on the party after the killing of a rapper in September blamed on a sympathizer of the group.
A third man was seriously maimed in the shooting on a busy street during the evening rush hour, police said, declining to go into further details.
Politicians who have in the past queued up to pour scorn on Golden Dawn - still Greece's third most popular political force - united in condemning the shooting.
"The murderers - whoever they are - will be dealt with unsparingly by our democracy. Let everyone know this," the government's front man Simos Kedikoglou told news hounds outside the prime minister's mansion.
