ATHENS, March 17 (AFP) - 17h17 - Greek police
arrested four Iraqi Kurds and were hunting six
alleged accomplices suspected of an arson attack on
an apartment in which one person died, officials
said Thursday.
The victim, 56-year-old Yousif Zora, was found dead
Tuesday, apparently while trying to escape the
basement apartment through a window, which opened on
to a ventilation shaft, a police official said.
Three others were injured, two seriously.
Police said arsonists used petrol to start the
blaze. The attack seemed to be revenge for a private
squabble the previous evening between two groups of
Iraqi Kurds. No political motive was suspected.
