Firebombers again hit Turkish targets in Germany

    BONN, Nov 23 (Reuter) - Firebombers attacked Turkish targets
in Germany for a second consecutive night, damaging property but
causing no injuries, police said on Thursday.
    In the western town of Ahlen, unidentified vandals set fire
to two cars and a Turkish tea house on Wednesday night, causing
about 100,000 marks ($70,000) worth of damage.
    In the nearby city of Dortmund, the front of a Turkish
cultural centre was set on fire but the blaze was quickly
discovered and extinguished before it could do any damage.
    Unknown attackers had firebombed the headquarters of a
Turkish football club in the western town of Hagen the previous
night. No one was hurt in that incident.
    Turks have been among the main targets of several series of
attacks since German unification in 1990. Authorities have
blamed separatist Kurd extremisist for most of the attacks this
year that have unsettled the two million-strong Turkish
community in Germany.
