Iranian embassy denies anti-Semitic attack plot in Greece
[AlAhram] Iran's embassy in Greece on Wednesday denied any connection to an alleged plot for anti-Semitic attacks in Athens using Paks of Iranian origin.

"The embassy of the Republic of Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
strongly denies the rumours spread by Zionist sources and their baseless accusations against Iran," it said on Twitter.

"It is obvious that their fabricated scenarios are intended to divert the public's attention from their internal crisis."

Greek police on Tuesday said they had arrested two young Paks of Iranian origin who were planning attacks on areas frequented by Israelis in central Athens.

The source said that the men had targeted a building which houses a Jewish restaurant and a prayer centre.

Police spokeswoman Constantia Dimoglidou told AFP the "criminal mastermind" of the cell is "a Pak who lives outside Europe".

A police source, speaking on condition of anonymity
... for fear of being murdered...
, said the person lived in Iran.

Israel accused Tehran of being behind the plot and said its national intelligence agency Mossad had helped avert an attack.

"After the investigation of the suspects in Greece, the Mossad helped untangle the intelligence of the network, its operational methods and ties to Iran," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said.

"As part of the investigation, it emerged that the infrastructure in Greece was part of a broad Iranian network, operated from Iran toward many countries," a statement said.

Some Greek reports have cast doubt on the case, noting that the Pak suspects were farm labourers detained in February for lacking residency papers.

"Olive grove 'terrorists'," read a headline in leftist daily Efsyn.

The two suspects will be taken before a prosecutor on Friday.

The announcement came as Greece's under-fire prime minister announced elections would be held on May 21, as popular anger seethes over government failures blamed in last month's train tragedy that killed 57 people.

Greece's intelligence agency EYP has also faced pressure in past months over a wiretap scandal that erupted last year.

Earlier in March, the Greek intelligence agency hailed as a "success" the discovery of an alleged Russian spy after she had already fled the country.
