Luxury Car torched

Berlin 29th March 2009

A claim which reached our mailbox:

"In the night of the 29th of March, we torched a Mercedes near
Treptower Park in Berlin´s district Treptow.
With this small contribution in the ongoing social war, we send
warm greetings to the comrades in Chile, who are keeping the
fighting memory alive.

Here as there, rebellious hearts against domination in all its
forms."
