November 17 convict Savvas Xeros has signaled his intention not to wear the security bracelet required by a new Greek law for convicts with disabilities to be granted early release and house arrest.

A day after Washington placed two convicted Greek guerrillas on a terrorism blacklist, State Minister Nikos Pappas met with US Ambassador to Greece David Pearce for talks that are said to have focused on a new Greek law whose provisions allow the transfer from prison to house arrest of a convicted terrorist.

The State Department on Tuesday designated Christodoulos Xeros and Nikos Maziotis, members of Greek urban guerrilla groups, as terrorists, a day after protesting a new law approved by Greece's parliament.

The US Ambassador to Greece David Pearce has said Washington will view as a ?profoundly unfriendly act? legislation that paves the way for November 17 terrorist Savvas Xeros to be released from prison early.

The American and Turkish governments have expressed concern about the possible early release of November 17?s Savvas Xeros after Parliament passed a law on Friday permitting inmates with heavy disabilities to see out their sentences under house arrest.
