Police make arrests over racist arson attack

Police say they have arrested two Greek men on suspicion of attacking a Cameroonian national and setting fire to his coffee bar in the central Athens neighbourhood of Agios Panteleimonas. The two, both 34, were appearing before a prosecutor later Thursday, on charges of arson, making threats and racial discrimination. Police spokesman Christos Parthenis said a search of the suspects' homes revealed "slogans and symbols of a particular political party" on the bedroom cupboard of one of the suspects.
