American basketballers' car torched in Greece: police
SALONIKA, Greece (AFP) — A car driven by two American basketball players was set on fire Monday by youths in the northern Greek city of Salonika, but the athletes got out unhurt, a local police source said.
The Americans playing for local club Aris Salonika -- 26-year-old forward Jeremiah Massey and fellow forward Reyshawn Terry, 24 -- were driving in an area which is a stronghold of cross-town rivals PAOK when they were attacked by five youths on motorbikes, the source said.
The youths broke a car window and threw a smoke flare inside.
Both players got out unhurt.
The incident occurred a few days ahead of key game between Aris and PAOK.
