Greece: Two Pakistanis arrested for plotting a terrorist attack at a Jewish restaurant

According to the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), the two arrested Pakistani nationals were part of an Iranian terror network.

The Israeli espionage agency Mossad and Greek police are said to have worked together to thwart an alleged plot to carry out a massive terror attack in Greece targeting Israelis and Jews.

According to the Times of Israel, Greek police arrested two Pakistani nationals on Tuesday who were allegedly planning the attack. According to the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), the two arrested Pakistani nationals were part of an Iranian terror network.

“The affair that was uncovered in Greece is a severe case that was successfully thwarted by the Greek security forces. It was an additional attempt by Iran to perpetrate terrorism against Israeli and Jewish targets abroad”, the Israeli PMO said.

“After the start of the investigation of the suspects in Greece, the Mossad rendered intelligence assistance in unravelling the infrastructure, its work methods and the link to Iran.

“The investigation revealed that the infrastructure that operated in Greece is part of an extensive Iranian network run from Iran and spanning many countries”, it added.
