The suspects reportedly claimed they are translators and had been staying at a hotel in Alexandroupolis for eight days.

According to recent information, while initially the two arrested men reportedly were Islamist extremists without being on any terrorist or criminal database, they are now reportedly believed to be Kurdish who fight against IS in Syria and Iraq. The third man claims he is Kurdish and is believed to have been carrying weapons for his patriots who fight against IS in Syria.
