G-8 protesters firebomb Mercedes dealership 05/06/2007 00:00
5 June 2007
ZURICH, Switzerland (AP) _ Militant opponents of this week's Group of Eight summit claimed responsibility Tuesday for a firebomb attack on a Mercedes car dealership in Zurich.
An anonymous fax sent to The Associated Press and other media organizations also demanded the release of G-8 opponents arrested by German police. The overnight attack caused about 200,000 Swiss francs (US$160,000; 120,000 euros) in damage.
Hundreds of demonstrators have been arrested in Rostock, Germany _ about 15 miles (25 kilometers) from the G-8 summit in Heiligendamm _ during a series of protests since Saturday.
Swiss police were investigating the Zurich attack on the dealership of the German automaker.
About a dozen people demonstrated peacefully for the release of G-8 protesters in front of the Germany Embassy in Bern on Monday evening.
