(AFP) Iran’s embassy in Greece on Wednesday denied any connection to an alleged plot for anti-Semitic attacks in Athens using Pakistanis of Iranian origin.
“The embassy of the Republic of Iran 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 Pakistanis 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.
