ATHENS, Greece: Greek police say suspected anarchist arsonists have firebombed a tax office in central Athens and caused extensive damage but no injuries.
Police say a group of 30 youths threw petrol bombs at the building and set it on fire.
The building was closed at the time of the attack late Friday.
The fire brigade says it has brought the blaze under control but that the flames caused widespread damage to the building’s basement and first floor. No arrests have been made.
Anarchist arsonists frequently target government property, as well as banks and foreign diplomatic cars in Athens and Greece’s second-largest city of Thessaloniki.
