Three suspected anarchists arrested in Greece

Greek police on Tuesday announced the arrest of three suspected
members of the urban guerrilla group "Anti-Fascist Action", believed
to be responsible for a series of arsonist attacks since 1994.

The three were caught in the early hours of Monday morning at
Omonia, downtown Athens, after a man set alight a National Bank
of Greece ATM.

The fire was set by a 32-year-old man on a moped, who doused the
ATM with a flammable liquid and set it on fire. Police investigating the
attack caught up with the three, aged 27, 30 and 31, in a delivery van
in Omonia and they admitted their involvement under questioning.
Two of the three arrested also have previous arrests for arson and
other charges.

A search is on for the man that caused the ATM fire and the woman
owner of the moped he was riding.

The fingerprints of the 32-year-old were also found on a canister of
flammable liquid used in a fire set at the Royalist National Organization
two days before.

Responsibility for both attacks was claimed by "Anti-Fascist Action"
in a phone call to the newspaper "Eleftherotypia".

The same group has also claimed responsibility for a series of other
arsonist attacks in the past 10 years.
