It seems that the Greek police hit the bull’s eye by arresting the four Turkish nationals of Kurdish origins during an operation in an apartment in Gyzi. The four men are believed to be members of the DHKP-C militant group. The Greek counterterrorism police recovered weapons and explosives from the apartment in Gyzi, Athens, a fact that strengthens the case of the terrorist activity against the four men.
A full list of the weapons recovered is included in police reports. A Kalashnikov assault rifle with three clips, three pistols, one suppressor, two sub-machine guns, 6.35 kilos of high explosives, two F1 hand grenades, ammunition, three computers, maps of Greece’s capital Athens, Alexandroupoli and Turkey as well as various DHKP-C photos were found in the four men’s apartment which are believed to be related to last year’s case in the Greek island of Chios. At that time, the police had recovered two anti-armor rockets, four grenades, two pistols, detonators and bullets from a speedboat which was sailing between Chios and Inousses.
The police investigation showed that in both cases the weapons and explosives seem to have originated in Crete where a 44 year-old woman was located and arrested two days ago.
A series of investigations seem to have begun since the people implicated in the incident are not accidental.
It is worth mentioning that one of the four men arrested is wanted by Interpol for an assassination he committed in Turkey. Police objectives include the analysis of data they possess which are likely to lead to other safe houses or even other terrorist groups.
