Last May, agents of US intelligence were on the streets of Athens trying to find Arab origin people who were related to Islamic State and could have been a threat to the security of their country.

The US intelligence operation was revealed by PROTO THEMA and refers to the abduction case of the Pakistan people in the summer of 2005. Back then British intelligence service had cooperated with the Greek intelligence service to avoid a new terrorist attack in UK, as the one occurred in July 2005, which killed many citizens of London.

As it is mentioned in a document of the American judicial authorities, US agents arrived in Athens and met with Arab H.K., known also as ‘H.’, who is considered to have links with the Islamic State.

The undercover US agent met with K. to buy four fake US passports for members of Daesh organization, known as ISIS. K. promised to give the four false passports for 10,000 euros within four days, while he had already received a deposit of 5,000 euros, and four photographs of the alleged members of the organization for the passports.

The events that took place from that moment on are described in details in the document of US authorities.

Greek judicial authorities are now called to decide whether or not to authorize the extradition of the Arab man who was arrested during US operation and is accused by US judicial authorities for criminal actions which are committed on Greek territory.
