The original article claimed that they had several thousand rounds of 22mm ammo! 8-)

http://www.itv.com/news/2016-02-14/thre ... operation/ shows 17 HMR ammo and also states that the men are Iraqi nationals as well, but that the Greek authorities have no evidence to link them to ISIS - at the moment...

I'd imagine, Peshmerga or a YPG... Or any other Kurdish based group, as opposed to Daesh.
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Whatever the facts are I get really REALLY fed up with hearing about so-called 'British Citizens' being involved.....about time our various shades of Government stopped throwing citizenship approvals around in so carefree a fashion!
