Store gutted, bank damaged in Greek attacks

From an article in the International Herald Tribune :

Authorities say an upscale furniture store was gutted and a bank was damaged in arson attacks in the Greek capital.

The attacks occurred despite heightened police measures in Athens in the wake of massive riots, arson attacks and recent bombings by domestic militant groups.

The Fire Service says the assailants smashed the furniture storefront with sledgehammers before starting a fire with petrol bombs and small cooking gas canisters in the city's Halandri area.

The entrance of a Greek bank in Athens' Alimos suburb was damaged in a gas canister attack.
