Attacks on Journalist-Faith Barnes

In Athens, Greece on Friday arsonist attacked the homes of five prominent journalist. Police in Greece said they used makeshift bombs. "Only a small material damage was caused by the explosion," said a police Christos Manovras. Something like this hasn't happened since the beginning of the financial crisis in 2008. They still don't know what caused them to attack but the media have been linking the attacks to the journalist coverage of the crisis. The attack came after recent media reports on Greece's "triangle of power," showing details of the country's financial and political elite and media. The Greek government thinks they are trying to terrorize the media.
