Attackers burn 50 cars in Berlin...

Arson attackers in the German capital of Berlin have severely damaged some 50 vehicles on three consecutive nights, arousing concerns that the incidents could be politically motivated.

Most of the 50 vehicles damaged since Monday are luxury cars, Financial Times reported.

“The arsonists want to hit what they say are 'Fat Cats,'” Berlin police spokesman Michael Gassen said.

According to Gassen, a special unit is investigating the fires as political crimes following claims of responsibility by groups that protest globalization, gentrification and rising rents.

So far, no arrests have been made in the most recent string of attacks. More...
