Police raid at terrorist hideout behind Athens Intercontinental (photos)

The counter-terrorist squad is investigating a flat near Syngrou Avenue, behind the Intercontinental Hotel, at Neos Kosmos, near the Athens Center. The third-floor flat is believed to have been used by two wanted robbers known as the “robbers in black”, Spyros Christodoulos and Grigoris Tsironis, whose accomplice had committed suicide at Nea Anhialou, Volos, Thessaly.

The refrigerator had food that had not yet expired and there were signs that somebody had recently stayed at the flat. No weapons, computers or money stash was found, though it is possible that it may have been emptied. The person leasing the flat has yet to testify and is reportedly overseas at the moment.
