Four American tourists among six killed in suspected Athens gas leak blast

Rescue teams recovered six bodies after a Friday blast collapsed a two-storey building in Athens’s Plaka district; Mayor Haris Doukas said a major gas leak was likely. Documents on four victims—two US men and two US women—indicated they were American tourists; the other two were a British man and a Greek woman who lived on the second floor. Two women were injured in a neighbouring building, nearby structures were evacuated, and two severely damaged adjoiners may be demolished.
