The terror group “Conspiracy of the Cells of Fire – Nihilists Faction” claimed responsibility for an arson attack targeting the car of the Greek diplomat’s car in Berlin, Aris Rodiopoulos, in a proclamation sent to the German website “linksunten.indymedia.org”.

The proclamation cited policy brutality during the crisis, the building of new high security prisons and the death of inmate Ilia Kareli among the reasons for the attack and expressed solidarity with inmates on hunger strike in Greek prisons.

As argued, numerous experts in the fight against terrorism from abroad participate in the suppression of the “spirit of resistance” of prisoners. “That’s why we decided to visit one of the “their little lapdog” at quiet Wilmersdorf”.

German foreign ministry spokesman Martin Schaefer noted that all attacks on foreign diplomats in Germany are “a very serious matter for the German government” while police authorities in Berlin, who have jurisdiction over the specific case, stressed that they were treating the group’s announcement as very serious.
