No reason for concern in Greece following Brussels attacks, minister says

Greece sees no reason for concern in connection with the deadly terrorist attacks in Brussels, Citizens' Protection Minister Nikos Toskas has said.

“There is no reason for concern in Greece. Our country is for historical reasons not a target, but we have to remain vigilant because we are a transit country for a large number of people,” Tsokas said in an interview with Skai TV late Tuesday, adding that the government was in close cooperation with its European counterparts.

Belgian state broadcaster RTBF on Wednesday identified two of the attackers who targeted Brussels as brothers Khalid and Brahim Bakraoui.
