The Sahzat Luqman Attack Team [OESL; Omáda Epíthesis Sachzát Loukmán] was a short-lived anarchist militant outfit based in Athens. On May 20, 2015, it set off an incendiary bomb at the office of an insurance agency owned by an advisor to the fascist Golden Dawn party at a shopping center in the Maroussi suburb of the Greek capital city.1 The father of the insurer was injured as he tried to put out the flames. The OESL claimed responsibility for the action in a posting on an anarchist website on May 26.2 The assailants claimed to have attacked the “Hitler nostalgics” as revenge for the 2008 killing of a Pakistani immigrant and the murder of left-wing extremist rapper Pavlos Fyssas in 2013. The OESL denounced legal proceedings against the party as a “charade”.
