Iranian plot to attack Jews in Athens foiled by Greek authorities with Mossad assistance

Greek police arrested two Pakistani nationals who were allegedly planning mass-casualty terrorist attacks against Israeli and Jewish targets in the country. Israel's Mossad spy agency aided the Greek investigation and said the two were part of an Iranian terror network. The suspects had chosen a target of "high symbolism" and were making final preparations for the attack. The two suspects both entered Greece illegally from neighboring Turkey and had been in the country for at least four months. A third man, who is not in Greece, was wanted for questioning and charged in absentia.
