Preliminary Report, More to Come Soon:

After the surprise announcement to hold a referendum vote on the latest EU bailout package for Greece, LPAC sources in Europe have just been informed that Greek Prime Minister Papandreou has just replaced ALL the heads of the armed services’ branches. No explanations have yet been offered, although it is understood that the military has been very upset with Papandreou. Chiefs of staff of the Greek National Defence, Army General and Air Force have are all reported to have been fired. Greece is a NATO country, and those being appointed to the posts just vacated by Greek military leaders mostly have NATO experience. This is a totally extraordinary development, which could unfold very rapidly over the next hours.
