Police station in northern Athens comes under hail of Molotovs

Around 10 hooded assailants launched an attack with Molotov cocktails against a police department in Pefki, northern Athens early Thursday morning.

According to police, the perpetrators threw five firebombs at the department located on Konitsis Street and that three cars, including two police vehicles, parked outside, caught fire.

No one was injured in the attack, which occurred shortly after 2 a.m., but a police guard told Skai TV that the perpetrators had an intention to kill.

"They threw Molotovs at a colleague and in the garage so that the entire building would be engulfed in flames, " the guard said, adding that attackers are now using oil in Molotov cocktails so that fire spreads quickly.

"We fear that a colleague or citizen will get killed as attacks against police stations have become an almost daily occurrence," he said.
