[01] 'I feel absolutely safe in Greece,' U.S. envoy says
U.S. Ambassador to Athens Charlies Ries, speaking in an exclusive
interview with the NET television network on Tuesday, said he is
absolutely satisfied with cooperation with the Greek authorities to
resolve the terrorist attack on the U.S. embassy last Friday and
stressed that he feels absolutely safe in Greece in representing his
country and will continue to travel and do his work as best as he can.
He also referred to investigations to detect the perpetrators, that are
taking place under the supervision of the Greek authorities.
"We must always be prepared and in a state of vigilance for the
possibility of terrorism. Unfortunately, in our era it is a reality in
the lives of all. The American embassies in particular are targets all
over the world. We are in a state of continuous and increased alert,"
he said.
Ries said that being a diplomat and not an investigator, he cannot
assess whether the perpetrators are usual suspects from the past,
stressing that he feels that nothing must be ruled out.
