'Terror leader' held by Greek police

Greek police have detained an elderly man reported to be a leader of Europe’s most elusive terrorist group, on a remote Aegean Sea island.

The man, who has not been named, was snatched as part of a nationwide hunt for members of Greece’s November 17 terrorist group, which has claimed responsibility for 22 killings, including the murder of a British military attache, and dozens of bomb and rocket attacks in the past 27 years.
