Greek anti-terrorism police have arrested three suspects in connection with a bomb attack that killed the mother of a politician and injured four other people, authorities announced as investigations into the deadly incident continue.
According to officials in Greece, the arrests followed an extensive investigation by the country’s counterterrorism unit, which gathered evidence linking the suspects to the bombing.
The explosion claimed the life of the politician’s mother while leaving four additional victims with injuries. Emergency responders quickly secured the area, treated the wounded, and launched rescue operations immediately after the blast.
Authorities said the attack is being treated as a serious act of terrorism, with investigators examining the suspects’ motives, possible affiliations, and whether additional individuals may have been involved in planning or supporting the operation.
Greek police conducted coordinated raids at multiple locations as part of the investigation, recovering evidence that prosecutors believe may strengthen the case against the suspects.
Officials have not released the identities of those arrested, citing the ongoing investigation. The suspects are expected to appear before judicial authorities as prosecutors prepare formal charges.
Government leaders strongly condemned the attack, describing it as an assault on public safety and democratic institutions. They reaffirmed their commitment to bringing everyone responsible to justice.
Security has been heightened around government buildings and public facilities while law enforcement agencies continue searching for any additional individuals connected to the bombing.
Counterterrorism experts note that Greece has maintained specialized investigative units to respond rapidly to politically motivated attacks and other threats to national security.
The bombing has sparked renewed debate about domestic security and the importance of preventing extremist violence through intelligence gathering and law enforcement cooperation.
Investigators continue examining forensic evidence and surveillance footage as they work to establish the full circumstances surrounding the attack.
Authorities have urged members of the public with relevant information to cooperate with investigators while assuring citizens that every effort is being made to ensure public safety.
