ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Police have arrested two more alleged November 17 terrorists, and said Sunday one was believed to be a hit man in four assassinations — including those of a U.S. Air Force sergeant and a British brigadier. Police now have a total of nine suspects in cus tody, including an alleged leader of the November 17 group, which carried out bombings, assassina tions and robberies with impunity for 27 years. They are still searching for other November 17 members, believed to number a few dozen. A magistrate on Sunday began arraigning three of the first suspected November 17 terrorists, arrest ed after police made their first ever breakthrough against the group following a botched bombing on June 29. They include two brothers who confessed to nine of the 23 killings attributed to November 17, and family friend charged with a bombing and robbery. Another brother, injured in the failed bombing, remains hospitalized under police guard. Authorities believe they are now close to dis mantling a group which eluded Greek, American and British authorities since 1975, when it appeared with the killing of the CIA station chief in Athens, Richard Welch. The arrests came as the Sunday edition of the Eleftherotypia newspaper reported that November 17 had been planning to attack a convoy of NATO peacekeepers heading from the northern port of Thessaloniki to Macedonia and Kosovo. NATO uses Thessaloniki as a logistical base for its peacekeep ing operations. Police identified the two men arrested in north ern Greece late Saturday as Iraklis Kostaris and Costas Karatsolis, both 36-year-old real estate agents who are close friends. Police spokesman Lefteris Ekonomou said Kostaris denied involvement, but evidence and state ments by others in custody implicate him in several of the group’s attacks between 1988 and 2000. They include the killings of Air Force Sgt* Ronald O. Stewart in March 1991 and of British defense attache Brig. Stephen Saunders in June 2000.
