Athens: Greek police said a car belonging to the Libyan embassy in Athens has been burned in an arson attack.

No one was hurt in the incident but several cars were damaged when a device made using cooking gas canisters exploded under the embassy car on Friday.

No group claimed responsibility for the attack.

In a separate incident, an anarchist group said it carried out an attack on a Greek high court on Friday.

It said its members splashed paint over the entrance of the Council of State building in central Athens in solidarity with ongoing protest by inmates seeking better conditions.
