Why did Greece become the target of Pakistani terrorists

New evidence is coming to light about the actions of the Pakistani terrorists in Greece, who plotted to attack a Jewish restaurant in the centre of the Greek capital. Operation Hyacinth was crowned with success, the two Pakistanis were arrested and bloodshed was prevented.

Information provided by Israel played an important role and contributed to the arrest of the terrorists. Also, the identity of the mastermind of the terrorist ring, who lives permanently in Iran and gave instructions to the Pakistanis, was revealed.

The Iranian Embassy on hearing the news went on the counterattack and denied the accusations.

“The Embassy of Iran strongly denies the rumours spread by Zionist sources and their baseless accusations against Iran. It is obvious that their fabricated scenarios are intended to divert the public’s attention from their internal crisis,” the embassy said in a post.

On the other hand, Israel congratulated the Greek Police, while the dismantling of the ring is featuring heavily in both Israeli and Pakistani media.

According to Israeli media, in addition to the two arrested, 27-year-old Hayder and 29-year-old Hussain, the terrorist organisation tried to recruit at least 15 other Pakistanis, as well as Albanians, looking for weapons and professional killers.

The connection to the war in Ukraine

Greece has never been a country targeted by jihadists, such as al-Qaeda. But the plan of the two Pakistanis raises concern and questions the reasons why our country became a target of terrorists.

According to Greek authorities, the strained relations between Greece and Russia, due to the war in Ukraine, has put the country in the target of the Russo-Iranian axis, with the result that terrorists are also targeting Greece for possible attacks.

The thriller in Istanbul

At the same time, other information is revealed about how the authorities managed to dismantle the network. As reported, the case began to unravel in Istanbul .

According to a report by Kathimerini, “some Israeli media had linked the attack plan to Al-Quds, which could be described as the Intelligence Directorate of the ‘Revolutionary Guards’.”

The reason for the above events was allegedly the assassination, on May 23, 2022, of an Iranian official in Tehran.
