[01] 3 urban terrorist suspects remanded in custody (ADDS)Three out of four suspects arrested last week during the discovery of an alleged "bomb-making" safehouse in the northern Athens suburb of Halandri were remanded in custody on Wednesday, pending trial. All four provided a statement before an examining magistrate, with all four denying any wrongdoing.The fourth detainee, Myrto Panteloglou, was released under restrictive conditions. Emmanuil Yiospas, 20, was remanded in custody after marathon testimony that lasted well into the early morning hours of Thursday, while Panayiotis Masouras and Harilaos Hatzimichelakis testified on Thursday afternoon and were later jailed. Authorities have linked the suspects to the particularly active "Conspiracy of Fire Cells" urban terrorist group, described as an anti-state anarchist cell. The four have been indicted on several counts of felony and misdemeanour charges, including participation in a criminal organisation, procurement and possession of explosive materials, two counts of causing explosions and thus endangering human lives, grand larceny, violation of the law on explosives and procurement and possession of narcotic substances for own use.
