Ultra-nationalist group threatens more attacks against Anastassiades and other ‘yes’ voters AN obscure ultra-nationalist group yesterday claimed responsibility for Tuesday’s grenade attack against the home of DISY chief Nicos Anastassiades. In a declaration found in a phone booth outside a Limassol supermarket at noon, the self-proclaimed Cypriot Nationalist Organisation claimed responsibility for the dawn attack, which caused only minor damage, and warned “traitor” Anastassiades to resign by May 11 or else Tuesday’s incident “would constitute a minor warning”. The group accused Anastassiades of spreading lies and misinforming the outside world about the situation on the island. The organisation made threats against Anastassiades’ family and all those who voted ‘yes’ for the “treacherous plan”, stressing that Cyprus was “not for sale”. (...) Police that night foiled the plans of a neo-nazi group Chrysi Avgi (Golden Dawn) some of whose members, along with a few from Greece, were rounded up near the Municipal Theatre in Nicosia before they could get anywhere near the rally.
