ATHENS, March 11 (Reuters) - Greece's most militant guerrilla group, Revolutionary Struggle, claimed responsibility on Wednesday for two bomb attacks against Citibank (C.N) branches in Athens, police said.

Greece has been rocked by a wave of violence since December, when the fatal police shooting of a 15-year-old youth triggered its worst riots in decades and shook the fragile conservative government.

Police said Revolutionary Struggle wrote to an Athens newspaper saying it was behind a failed bomb attack outside Citibank's headquarters last month, as well as a homemade bomb that went off outside a Citibank branch in the centre of the Greek capital this week but failed to injure anyone.

"They said they had staged the two bomb attacks against Citibank," a police official said. "In this brochure they are more militant than in the past. They make clear their target is not just to attack but to draw blood."
