    [04] In-depth investigations into domestic terrorism

    Police investigations into domestic terrorism will be in &#8211;depth , government spokesman Hristos Protopappas said yesterday when asked to comment on some news reports hinting that the probe will remain at a superficial level. He described as stupid and dangerous various views appearing in media reports , which he said tried either to glorify the terrorists or to damage the political system.

    Meanwhile , arrested November 17 suspect, Pavlos Serifis &#8211;according to reports- intends to recall part of his testimony involving his uncle Yiannis Serifis . His lawyer , however, refused to confirm the reports , stressing that his client s supplementary testimony will answer all questions.

    In parallel the administration of the Evangelismos hospital has asked for evidence in relation to allegations that Savvas Xiros- the first November 17 suspect arrested when a bomb blew up in his hands two months ago- was under the influence of drugs when he was being interrogated by the police.

    In the meantime, police are conducting investigations on possible links of Dimitris Koufontinas &#8211;who surrendered last week- on the island of Agistri in the Saronic Gulf where he had spent most of his two months on the run. The anti-terror police do not rule out that the might have hidden there the first typewriter of the organisation and the historic 45mm gun .
