Mossad says it foiled Iranian-Pakistani attack on Israelis in Greece
Israel’s spy agency assisted its Greek counterpart in dismantling a Pakistani terror cell, affiliated with Iran, that was planning attacks against Israeli and Jewish targets.
Israel's Mossad spy agency helped Greece stop an Iranian cell planning to launch terror attacks against Israeli nationals in Athens, the Israeli prime minister’s office said on Tuesday. Earlier in the day, Greek authorities revealed that they arrested two Pakistani nationals who were allegedly planning mass casualty terrorist attacks against Israeli and Jewish targets in the country.
The official statement said that Mossad had helped Athens in the “grave affair,” including uncovering links of the two Pakistani arrested suspects to Iran.
“After the investigation of the suspects began in Greece, Mossad assisted in unraveling intelligence of the infrastructure, the methods of operation and the connection to Iran,” the spy agency said. The suspects, it was claimed by Mossad, were part of a “wide Iranian network that operates from Iran and out of many countries.”
“This is another example of Iran trying to use terror against Israeli and Jewish targets overseas,” it added.
