Grenade attack on refugee's home in Germany 'a new level of hate'

Germany’s justice minister has pledged to take steps to crack down on anti-foreigner crime after an unidentified assailant threw a hand grenade at an refugee’s home in the country’s south west.

“It was just luck” that the device did not explode and nobody was harmed in the early morning attack against the home for asylum seekers in the town of Villingen-Schwenningen, regional police spokesman Thomas Kalmbach said.
