The pro-government daily “Ethnos” published an article March 1 which alleged the complicity of U.S. diplomats in the arrest of Kurdish leader Abdullah Ocalan. Ocalan’s arrest provoked demonstrations at embassies across Europe, some of which were violent. If this report is believed by Kurdish extremists, U.S. interests in Europe could become targets of demonstrations and possible violence. Thus far Turkish, Greek and Israeli installations have been targeted. Follow local press reports for current updates.
