(ANSA-AFP) - ATHENS, NOV 12 - Greek has heightened security
for a Euroleague basketball game between Panathinaikos and
Maccabi Tel Aviv on Tuesday after attacks on Israeli football
fans in Amsterdam last week, police said. A police source said
around 1,500 police would be assigned to security measures for
the game at the Athens Olympic indoor hall. Part of the force
will be assigned to Maccabi fans while anti-terror officers will
escort the team bus, the source told AFP. The Israeli embassy in
Athens will also be assigned additional security, the source
said. Last week, Dutch police said five people were hospitalised
and 62 arrested in violence after a Europa League football match
between Amsterdam club Ajax and Maccabi Tel Aviv on Thursday.
