ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greek police are searching for five suspects believed to be involved in the killing of an Iraqi migrant in central Athens, authorities said Sunday, as attacks on immigrants rise amid fears stoked by far right groups that they are to blame for a rise in crime.
A police statement said the young man, whose name and age has not been disclosed, was attacked Sunday morning by the five individuals and struck multiple times by a sharp instrument, likely a knife. He was taken to a hospital but died several hours later.
The statement added that a Romanian and a Moroccan were attacked earlier, but managed to flee. It did not specify if they had sustained injuries
Public Order Minister Nikos Dendias offered his condolences to the dead man's family, declaring "that the state will be ruthless towards all perpetrators of criminal acts, whatever excuse they use (to justify) them."
