Exarchia tax offices damaged

Two tax offices housed in the same building in the central Athens neighborhood of Exarchia were attacked by arsonists early Sunday.

Police said that the attackers used a ladder to climb onto the first-floor balcony, where they placed an incendiary device made from camping gas canisters.

The device exploded and the fire spread through the building. Nobody was hurt and tax officials said that the damage will not hamper them in performing their duties.
