Accord­ing to “Eleft­herotyp­ia news­pa­per report the “Rev­o­lu­tion­ary Attack Groups” (Epanas­ta­tikes Omades Epithe­sis) claim respon­so­bil­i­ty for the arsons of “Group 4 Securi­cor” vehi­cles in Kolonos, Athens. “On Dec. 24 we attacked the pri­vate guard com­pa­ny “Group 4‑Wackenhut” head­quar­ters destroy­ing around 15 vehi­cles used in mon­ey trans­fers.

They also men­tion:
“The mes­sage here is clear. When deal­ing with the rage of insur­gents they can­not be safe, even in their head­quar­ters. Our attack was an action of sol­i­dar­i­ty to our empris­oned com­rades: Gian­nis Dim­i­trakis, Gior­gos Vout­sis-Vogiatzis, Mar­ios Tsoura­pas, Chris­sos­to­mos Kon­tore­vithakis, Vagge­lis Botzatzis as well as to the pris­on­ers of the Rev­o­lu­tion­ary Organ­i­sa­tion Novem­ber 17 that are being kept under a state of total iso­la­tion. It is an action of sol­i­dar­i­ty to the insur­gent pris­on­ers of April, many of whom face tor­ture and con­stant trans­fers. It all con­tin­ues…”
