[02] Slight earth tremor in Parnitha area
04/01/2003 15:19:54
A slight earth tremor measuring 3.8 points on the Richter scale
occurred in the area of Parnitha, west of Athens, at 12.34 on Saturday,
in the same area where a killer earthquake struck in September 1999 and
killed 143 people.
The tremor was felt in Peristeri, Ilion, Ano Liosia and Piraeus, which
were the same regions, which had been struck by the earthquake in
1999.
Seismologists said there was no cause for alarm, since earth tremors of
such a magnitude take place every day all over the country.
