Police close in on Nov17 suspects Injured bomber is tied to 1997 murder of shipowner, officers cull evidence, three members sought The pursuit of the November 17 terrorist group's members intensified yesterday as police tied an injured suspect to the murder of shipowner Costis Peratikos in Piraeus in 1997.
