Greece Arrests Three Over Deadly Firebomb Attacks on Ruling Party Politicians' Homes

The Straits Times—Greek authorities arrested three suspects over a wave of firebomb attacks targeting the homes of politicians from the ruling New Democracy party, with at least one attack proving fatal. Investigators focused on what appeared to be coordinated political violence against ruling party lawmakers and their families. Separately, authorities also arrested two individuals over a 2010 firebombing of a bank during protests that killed three workers — a cold case that has haunted Greek justice for over a decade. The dual sets of arrests marked a significant moment in Greece's efforts to confront domestic political violence.
