According to a statement issued by the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office, the wires of the attackers were connected to Iran. “After launching an investigation into the suspects in Greece, Mossad provided intelligence assistance to uncover their infrastructure, modus operandi and ties to Iran,” the statement said. Greece has not yet revealed the identity of the foreign intelligence agency helping with the investigation. It says it is investigating the possibility that the suspects are planning other attacks in Greece.

“Their intention was not only to kill innocent civilians, but also to undermine the country’s sense of security, damage public institutions and jeopardize (Greece’s) international relations,” police said in a statement. The two suspects entered Greece illegally from Turkey and had been living in the country for at least four months, according to two Greek officials who spoke to the Associated Press news agency.
