Syrian man arrested in Greece with weapons cache

A senior police official says a Syrian man has been arrested on Greece's northeastern border with Turkey with a large batch of telescopic sights for rifles and shoulder-fired rocket launchers. The official said he believed the weapons were headed for Syria. There has been no official announcement by police.

 

The arrest took place Thursday when the man, a Belgian resident, crossed the border with Turkey in a tractor trailer. The arrested man said he re-entered Greece after Turkish customs officials found 281 telescopic sights and turned him back. (AP)
