Greek police probe attack on migrants’ home
Police in the northern Greek city of Thessaloniki are investigating a possible racist motive in the firebombing of an apartment housing a family of 10 Iraqi migrants.
The attack overnight Tuesday caused no injuries and minor damage. Police say a petrol bomb was thrown onto the balcony of the ground-floor apartment, and the fire was extinguished by residents.
Police say a witness reported seeing two men fleeing the scene of the attack. The case is being handled by the department for racist crimes.
