I thought you said you guys were peaceful? Arsonists target U.S. bank, restaurant in apparent anti-war attacks Sun Mar 23,12:21 PM ET ATHENS, Greece - An American bank and fast-food outlet were damaged in arson attacks Sunday apparently motivated by opposition to the war in Iraq (news - web sites), police said. Authorities said no one was hurt in either attack. There were no immediate claims of responsibility. A gasoline bomb was thrown at the entrance of a suburban McDonalds restaurant in Athens before opening hours. In a separate incident, a Citibank branch near the Greek capital was also damaged by an incendiary device made using small cooking gas cylinders. The fire damaged the front entrance and an automatic teller machine at the branch in Koropi, a town about 30 kilometers (18.5 miles) east of Athens. Police have increased security at American businesses around Greece amid widespread public opposition to the U.S.-led attack on Iraq. On Thursday, another Citibank branch was damaged following an arson attack in Athens.
Aggy, I said peace marchers were peaceful, not thugs in Greece. This bears out what both I and the c.i.a. has been predicting--increased terrorism and anti-Americanism due to our invasion of Iraq. (Edited by rangerdanger at 10:09 am on Mar. 24, 2003)
