"From the arson scene, gas canisters were taken as well as a plastic container, which seems to have been containing flammable liquid. Simultaneously investigations started to lead to the arsonist - something, that can be hard - since many would have reasons to damage the office responsible for thousands of penal cases each year."...
"As it was found out, the arsonists taped two gas canisters on a gasoline container and set them outside the main entrance of the district attorney's office, on the third floor of a building on Kyriakos Matsis street at Agii Omologites.
