Party Safe and Designate a Driver.
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.
