Greece says that the recent crackdown on members of the terrorist organization November 17 has paralyzed the group, which, according to Greek officials, has been responsible for the assassination of 23 people, including American and British diplomats, since 1975. The head of the Greek police told reporters today that ten individuals arrested in the past three weeks on suspicion of membership in this group participated in most of the attacks carried out by the November 17 terrorist organization. He stated that a significant portion of the equipment of this radical leftist group was discovered and seized in two hideouts in Athens. Currently, Alexandros Giotopoulos, who is said to have led this group, is in custody, but the police continue their searches for other suspects believed to be members of this organization. The terrorist group November 17 takes its name from the date of the student uprising in 1973, which was suppressed by the military dictatorship of the time in Greece.
