Anarchists throw bombs in Athens

Anarchists, who frequently clash with police and attack symbols of authority, have ratcheted up the level of confrontation with arson strikes outside police stations in the country's two main cities.

Late Thursday, masked youths threw petrol bombs into two patrol cars outside a police station in the northern city of Thessaloniki, after smashing the windscreens. The fires caused extensive damage.

Earlier, 12 vehicles, including patrol cars, unmarked police cars and a police motorcycle, were burnt by a group of up to 40 youths outside a central Athens police station.

The youths escaped on foot after the attack in the capital's Exarcheia district, a traditional anarchist stronghold.

Anarchists have stepped up arson attacks to show solidarity with widespread protests by inmates in Greek penitentiaries, after prison guards allegedly beat an anarchist bank robbery suspect.

Order was restored in all prisons Thursday, after four days of protests.
