Athens - Vandals attacked a Jewish cemetery in western Greece, damaging at least six graves, the majority of them beyond repair, regional authorities said Thursday. The vandals appeared to have scaled the walls of the cemetery in Ioannina, western Greece, to knock over and break grave stones, including the cemetery's main memorial.

The vandals then proceeded to cover them with blood using a recently killed turtle.

Ioannina's Frontozo cemetery is cared for by the city's small Jewish community.

There were two other attacks against the cemetery in January and March, Jewish community leaders said.
