Greek police have arrested four suspected terrorists, one of whom may be the ringleader of a foiled jihadi cell in Belgium, a police source told The Associated Press on Saturday.

Adelhamid Abaaoud is suspected of running a jihadi cell that was dismantled by Belgian authorities earlier this week. Greek officials have sent information on the detained suspects to Belgium and are reportedly awaiting word as to whether the suspect is Abaaoud.
