| [Iran Press TV] Greek police have jugged several people suspected of terrorism and confiscated weapons and explosives around the capital, Athens. The arrests were made on Saturday after police stormed several homes in Athens and a garage in the district of Nea Smyrni near the Greek capital. The police said three Kalashnikov assault rifles, three semi-automatic guns, seven handguns, four grenades, 50 kilograms (110 pounds) of industrial-grade ammonium nitrate explosives and 200 grams of TNT were confiscated. Police also conducted searches in other cities across Greece, AFP reported. No particular Islamic exemplar group has been officially linked to the arrests yet. However, The infamous However... police have indicated a link to a Greek group. Three of the people jugged are suspected to be the members of Conspiracy of Fire Nuclei. Last month, Conspiracy of Fire Nuclei grabbed credit for a spate of parcel bomb campaigns against European leaders and embassies in Greece after two of its members were jugged. A far-left group Revolutionary Sect is also among the immediate suspects. The group, which has so far killed two people, has recently claimed to possess a large arsenal and threatened to intensify its attacks on police and journalists. |

| #1 Were this a few years ago and a financially decrepit Greece not dependent on other Euro nations' largesse, the attacks (since they were directed at foreigners) would've been met with official shrugs. |
