Terrorism charges brought against 9 Turks held in Greece

Greek authorities brought terrorism charges Wednesday against nine suspected left-wing militants from Turkey, who were arrested during a series of raids in Athens ahead of a visit by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

 

An Athens prosecutor also charged the eight men and one woman with offences including alleged arms and explosives possession, forgery and resisting arrest.

 

The eight were arrested Tuesday on suspicion of links with the Revolutionary People's Liberation Party-Front, which is deemed a terrorist organization by Turkey, the United States and the European Union.

 

Police said a search of their residences uncovered detonators, a handgun and materials easily available on the market that could potentially be used to make explosives.
