Turkish consulate in Greece attacked

ATHENS, Greece — Unidentified assailants threw firebombs at the Turkish consulate in Thessaloniki on Saturday (September 18th). No one was injured in the attack. The bombs were hurled by a group of 15 people who targeted a guard post outside the consulate. “We consider this an attack against Greek police rather than against the consulate,” the police said.
