Mossad Foils an Iran-Linked Terror Plot To Attack Jewish Sites in Greece
A Jewish restaurant and Chabad center, both in Athens, were likely targets.
Greek authorities said police were searching parts of Athens and other areas of Greece on Wednesday following the arrest of two suspects accused of planning an attack at a Jewish center in a busy downtown area of the Greek capital. The two men, described as being of Pakistani origin but not further identified, were charged Tuesday with terrorism offenses, while a third man believed to be in Iran was charged in absentia.
“Thank God we are safe,” Rabbi Mendel Hendel, who runs the Chabad Jewish center, said in a statement to the Associated Press that was also signed by his wife, Nechama. “We’re grateful that this act of terrorism was prevented,” he added, thanking the Greek authorities.
