- BERLIN (UPI) -- Three young neo-Nazis wielding a knife and wearing
- jackboots and bomber jackets carved a swastika symbol into the forehead
- of a 16-year-old Greek girl during a daylight attack in a Dusseldorf
- park last week, police said Monday.
- The neo-Nazi men, believed to be 18 to 20 years of age, attacked the
- girl last Thursday, a police spokesman said at a special news conference
- to address the incident. The spokesman said the neo-Nazis wore jackboots
- and bomber jackets during the attack, which took place in broad
- daylight.
- The young men forced the girl to the ground, carved a swastika into
- her forehead with a knife and robbed her of nearly $100 worth of German
- currency, the police spokesman said. He said doctors believe the girl's
- wounds will heal without leaving any scars.
- The girl, whose name was not released, has left Germany since the
- attack and is back in Greece, the police spokesman said.
- The attack against the girl was the latest in a string of nearly 2,
- 000 violent incidents by neo-Nazis and skinheads during the past year.
- At least 17 people have died in the violence.
- Authorities released the news about the attack on the girl just one
- day after more than 300,000 people marched with candles through snowy or
- rainy streets to protest right-wing violence against foreigners.
- Police in Stuttgart, Hannover, Bremen, Karlsruhe, Cottbus and a
- number of smaller towns reported demonstrations. Police said more than
- 100,000 people participated in a 6-mile-long ``chain of light'' in
- Stuttgart, while 120,000 anti-rightist protestors took to the streets in
- Karlsruhe.
- In the eastern German city of Cottbus, church bells rang for 30
- minutes to show solidarity with foreigners. Observers described the
- Cottbus city center as a ``sea of candle light.''
- Protestors sheltered their candles against the rain mixed with snow
- that fell throughout the country.
