Athens - A group of self-styled anarchists fire-bombed the offices of Agence France Presse (AFP) in central Athens Wednesday, causing damage but no injuries, local media reports said. Unknown individuals fire-bombed the entrance of the office in the central Athens district of Kolonaki, causing a small fire to break out. Two employees were in the offices at the time and tried to put the fire out until fire firefighters arrived at the scene. Groups of anarchists frequently carry out arson attacks in the Greek capital and in the northern port city of Thessaloniki against government offices, large businesses and embassies.
