Europol: Greece among EU countries on high terrorism alert

As shocking as this may sound Greece is among EU countries put on alert by Europol for possible acts of terrorism by jihadists using cars packed with explosives.

According to an anonymous police official, the warning was issued on Saturday and it is going to remain in effect until January 17th.

A report from the the state news agency ANA-MPA, it involves one or more of seven jihadists whose names and photographs are currently being circulated by Europol after the terrorist attacks in France.

The report from ANA-MPA added that the European police agency is asking all EU members to notify it if any of the seven passed through border controls and be on alert in case they do.

According to the information, the jihadists have been trained in Yemen and have connections in Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and Russia.

Greece was not specifically mentioned in the alert, the official said, nor was any evidence as of this writing that any of them had passed through border controls in any EU country, but the information pointed at Belgium, Britain and Holland as countries with a higher likelihood of terrorism acts related to the seven.
