The head of the radical Greek November 17 organisation has been jailed for life, as has the group's main hitman. Alexandros Giotopoulos and Dimitris Koufodinas were among 15 people found guilty last week of involvement in a 25-year series of crimes. The group's victims included Greek and foreign figures, among them UK defence attache Brigadier Stephen Saunders, from Dorset. Greek police had made little progress in their search for the group until last year, when they caught one of the accused apparently trying to plant a bomb.
