Police in the Greek capital also believe possible attacks on other Jewish targets that could have resulted in multiple civilian casualties were also planned. The pair have been detained on terrorism charges. A third suspect, who is not in Greece, is also wanted for questioning. Israel’s Mossad spy agency aided the Greek investigation and said in a statement that the two were part of an Iranian terror network.
