| Convictions for November 17 terrorists |
| 2003-12-08 |
| Fifteen members of a Greek terrorist group which carried out a series of murders have been convicted. The leader of the November 17 terrorist cell and several followers carried out a nearly 30-year spree of killings and violence. A nine-month trial ended with guilty verdicts for participation in the group against Alexandros Giotopoulos, the alleged ringleader. Others convicted included the group’s hit man, Dimitris Koufodinas. Sentencing is expected later this week. November 17 was blamed for dozens of armed robberies, hundreds of bombings and 23 killings since 1975. The victims include four American envoys, two Turkish diplomats and prominent Greek political and business figures. The group took its name from the date of a bloody 1973 student uprising against the military dictatorship that ruled Greece from 1967 to 1974. |

| #4 I meant the terrorists should have been taken care of; the hookers can do whatever they want as long as they don't ooze on public benches or otherwise endanger citizens not interested in contracting virelent social deiseases. |

| #3 It would have been better to take care of this issue years ago. I'm sure reprisals will take place during the olympics. |

| #2 Prostitutes Rally for Brothel Legislation Mon Dec 8,12:34 PM ET Add Strange News - AP to My Yahoo! ATHENS, Greece - About 50 prostitutes marched to Parliament Monday to protest a government decision to withdraw legislation that would have made it easier for brothels to operate in Athens during the Aug. 13-29 Olympics. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=816&e=1&u=/ap/20031208/ap_on_sp_ol/oly_athens_brothels I guess it is easier to stop prostitutes than terrorists. |
