The “Con­spir­a­cy of Cells of Fire” claimed respon­si­bil­i­ty for the actions via e‑mail to directactiongr@yahoo.gr. This is a trans­la­tion of the com­mu­nique:

On Wednes­day April 9 we spot­ted and torched agen­cies of Ital­ian inter­ests (Car agen­cies, Gre­co-Iralian school bus). By this move­ment, we send to the impris­oned Ital­ian com­rades accused for mem­ber­ship in F.A.I. (Infor­mal Anar­chist Fed­er­a­tion) our salu­ta­tion with fire. This is how we re-acti­vate vig­or­ous­ly the inter­na­tion­al­ist rev­o­lu­tion­ary sol­i­dar­i­ty.

The Ital­ian com­rades of F.A.I. form a fed­er­a­tion that through its offen­sive actions, as the one of 21/12/2003 set­ting of explo­sive devices out­side the house of ‑the pres­i­dent of E.U. at the time- Romano Pro­di, or of the 3/3/2005, with their triple bomb attack out­side cara­binieri bar­racks, at Gen­o­va and Milano, claim­ing: “…We con­sid­er essen­tial that every per­son that isn’t tamed by the fake pros­per­i­ty that democ­ra­cy pro­vides, must express his/her rage with his/her action and by every means, we will keep on intrud­ing your dreams, your eco­nom­ic inter­ests and your peace. It won’t take you much time to under­stand the con­se­quences of your indif­fer­ence (abstract of a F.A.I. com­mu­nique).

In this tough route they select­ed, there were also loss­es. Arrest war­rants, impris­on­ments, juridi­cal farces. The last years, the Ital­ian state attacks bru­tal­ly the insur­rec­tion­al part among the Ital­ian anar­chists. Apart from peren­ni­al cap­tiv­i­ties, cer­tain oth­er com­rades as Mas­sari, Rosa, Fan­tazz­i­ni, are n’t accom­pa­ny­ing us any­more in this dan­ger­ous route to the wild rebel­lion, since they were mur­dered by the Ital­ian state. But nei­ther death is able to erase the rage from the eyes of the insur­gents.

The cells of F.A.I. and not only them, strike back and attempt to cre­ate a con­di­tion of omnipresent con­flict, where there is no place for com­pro­mise.

In its dec­la­ra­tion, F.A.I. men­tions: “Strike and destroy the respon­si­ble for the repres­sion and exploita­tion. Strike and destroy the pris­ons, the banks, the court-hous­es, the bar­racks…”

Accom­plices in the crime of direct rev­o­lu­tion­ary action, we seek, through our attacks, to form a range of dis­lo­ca­tion of the unevent­ful social peace. To com­mit the crime of end­ing the silence, to over­come the post­pone­ments and the hes­i­ta­tions, to live beyond the laws that enslave and the con­ven­tions that shoot in the back. And the only pre­cise way to achieve this, is to par­tic­i­pate in the rev­o­lu­tion­ary war, declared since the begin­ning.

This is our way to spread the fire of con­science, in this com­bat­ant con­di­tion that we select­ed for our­selves.

We don’t aban­don any impris­oned com­rade, nei­ther in Greece, nor in Italy, nor any­where.

Rev­o­lu­tion­ary salu­ta­tions to the impris­oned Ital­ian com­rades, accused for mem­ber­ship in F.A.I.

Free­dom for all impris­oned Ital­ian com­rades accused for sub­ver­sive prac­tices.

It all con­tin­ues, we’ll be back soon.
