8 Policemen are set ablaze on fire by a petrol bomb thrown by protesters during clashes near the Parliament building in athens, Greece.

German Police said unknown assailants attacked a refugee home in northern Germany with a petrol bomb on Friday, August 28.

"The incendiary device was thrown through a closed window into a flat in the former school building", police spokesman Jens Petersen said, adding that a carpet and mattress were set ablaze.

A mother and her three children who were sleeping in the adjoining room were unharmed, Petersen said.
