In March this year the group claimed responsibility for a package with explosives found at the German Finance Ministry. Another booby-trapped envelope attributed to the group slightly injured an employee at the International Monetary Fund's premises in Paris a few hours later.
According to police sources, investigators were looking into possible links with the March attacks. Initial findings indicate that the explosive device contained gunpowder used in fireworks, AMNA reported.
The counter-terrorism squad has launched a full-scale investigation to determine how the letter bomb reached Papademos passing security screenings.
The attack against Papademos is the first targeting a serving or former prime minister since the restoration of democracy in 1974 after a seven-year military dictatorship, SKAI television channel noted.
"I unequivocally condemn the attack on Loukas Papademos. I wish a speedy recovery to him and the people accompanying him," Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras tweeted from Brussels, where he was attending the NATO summit.
Opposition parties issued similar statements, while several political leaders and public figures rushed to the hospital to be briefed on the condition of Papademos.
Among them was main opposition New Democracy party leader Kyriakos Mitsotakis who described the attack as a "cowardly terrorist attack carried out by enemies of Greece and of democracy."
