Greek police say a car belonging to the Saudi Arabian Embassy in Athens was damaged Tuesday by suspected anarchists.

The pre-dawn arson attack is the second targeting of a Saudi Embassy vehicle in two days. No injuries or arrests have been reported.

Police say in both attacks the arsonists placed lighted gas canisters under the cars.

A group calling itself the Subversive Cell claimed responsibility for Monday's attack.

Self-styled anarchist groups upset with the government often set off small bombs outside banks, offices and official cars in the Athens area.
