Insurrectionist attacks.

Arsonists threw a petrol bomb at a branch office of the ruling New Democracy party in Exarchia in central Athens, few blocks away from the local Police Department, early yesterday, causing minor damage, police said.

In a separate incident an hour later, a bomb made of gas canisters went off outside a branch of Aspis Bank in the city center, damaging the front entrance and the ATM.

No one was hurt in either of the attacks. Responcibility has been claimed by a new group called "Insurrection Flame" in solidarity to the 3 jailed anarchists accused under the anti-terrorist law for an attack against the Greek riot police and the taking of their riot gear http://athens.indymedia.org/display.php?articleId=3200 It has been claimed that the attacks will continue until improvement of their living conditions in jail.
