ATHENS: Greek police told AFP on Tuesday they had arrested two young Pakistanis of Iranian origin over planned anti-Semitic attacks in central Athens, as Israel accused Tehran of being behind the plot.

The Jewish state said it was a fresh attempt by arch-foe Iran “to promote terror against Israeli and Jewish targets abroad”. “After the investigation of the suspects in Greece, the Mossad helped untangle the intelligence of the network, it´s operational methods and ties to Iran,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu´s office said referring to Israel´s national intelligence agency.
