Greece arrested two foreign nationals for allegedly plotting terror attacks against Jewish targets, local media said on Tuesday.

The two suspects, reportedly Pakistani nationals, were detained by a joint operation of National Intelligence Services and the police anti-terror teams, the state-run ANSA news agency said.

A restaurant frequented by Jews and Israelis in central Athens was the target of the two suspects aged 29 and 27, the agency said.

The suspects will be brought before a prosecutor on Friday, facing felony charges of forming and joining a terrorist organization, it added.
