Polish Security Foiled Terror Attack on President
13:26 20/11/2012 WARSAW, November 20 (RIA Novosti) - Poland’s law enforcement agencies foiled a terrorist attack against President Bronislaw Komorowski and top government organs earlier this month, officials revealed on Tuesday.
Investigators say aresident of the southern city of Krakow was plotting to attack “the Constitutional organs” of Poland during the November 11 Independence Day celebrations, in which Komorowski was taking part.
“He was preparing … an explosion that would have targeted the lives of many people,” a Polish prosecutors' spokesman told RMF FM radio station.
A criminal case over the planned attack was opened back on November 5. The suspect travelled several times from Krakow to Warsaw to study the route of the Indepence Day procession, according to the radio report.
The targets also included the government and parliament, government spokesman Pawel Gras told TOK FM radio.
The Internal Security Agency (ABW), which is handling the case, plans to reveal more details at a press conference later on Tuesday.
