Austrian authorities says five neo-Nazi teenagers vandalized
a memorial for Nazi victims in the southern town of Villach.
Erich Londer of the local police says the teenagers - all
males aged between 17 and 19 - are members of a neo-Nazi
group. He says their names have been passed onto the regional
public prosecutor's office.
The memorial listing the names of people from the area who
died at the hands of the Nazis has been repeatedly damaged
since it was unveiled in 1999.
Broadcaster ORF reported that, over the course of the
vandalism probe, police found flyers with neo-Nazi content,
as well as swastikas and SS symbols in a local building.
