Five explosions rock Athens

[dArKeR]

Five homemade explosive devices were set off overnight in Athens in front of Greek banks and the offices of the conservative party, causing damage, police said on Friday.

The Molotov cocktails exploded in front of the banks and the offices of the New Democracy party within 90 minutes, starting at 11.30 pm, but firefighters dispatched to the sites quickly extinguished the flames, police said.

No one has claimed responsibility for the attacks but investigators said they suspect "anarchists" to be behind the violence following their calls this week for the release of seven anti-globalistation activists arrested in June during protests that coincided with a European summit.

Three bottles filled with flammable liquid were set off last week in front of Greek banks and Cypriot bank.
