Greece’s Counter-Terrorism unit is reportedly expecting that an unknown financial target is the next aim of terrorists choosing capitalist symbols to vent their anger over the coming transfer and firings of scores of thousands of public workers.
The site newsit reported that the fears are that this time anarchists or terrorists will go after a person and not a building, while the newspaper Ta Nea said envoys from Greece’s international lenders of the Troika, the European Union-International Monetary Fund-European Central Bank are in the cross-hairs. They are due to return in September.
Law enforcement authorities have reportedly beefed up security markedly to protect the envoys and other likely targets, although they were not disclosed. Police said there is already an announcement warning for an “upgraded” hit by the criminals.
Authorities are going after people it believes supply the terrorists with arms and weapons and are working to deter any potential hit.
