Masked Men Storm Canada Embassy In Greece - Reports

ATHENS (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 21st October, 2018) A group of masked men on Sunday attacked the Canadian Embassy in Athens in Greece, smashing windows and smearing paint over the facade, local media said.

The attack by a dozen of sledgehammer-wielding hooligans took place in the northern suburb of the Greek capital at around 6 a.m. local time, the Kathimerini newspaper reported.

The Embassy's security guard alerted the police, the publication said. A man who was close to the scene at the time of the attack was questioned and then released.

No one has claimed responsibility, but the assault mirrored attacks by a Greek anarchist group called Rubicon. Last month, Rubicon said they had vandalized Iran's Embassy in Athens in protest against its treatment of the Kurds.
