Europe Remains on High Terror Alert; 4 Terrorism Suspects Detained in Greece
Widening a European counterterrorism dragnet, Greek authorities detained four terrorism suspects today, including a man believed to be the ringleader of a Belgian jihadi cell.
A Greek police official said the four were arrested separately in Athens and included a man who matches the description of Abdelhamid Abaaoud — who Belgian authorities suspect was behind a jihadi cell that was dismantled in Belgium on Thursday.
Authorities in Belgium were going over photos, fingerprints and DNA material sent from Greek police to try to verify whether the person was Abaaoud, said Greek and Belgian officials.
