Polish police are investigating after arresting a man suspected of plotting an attack against Prime Minister Donald Tusk and defence minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz, the interior ministry told AFP on Sunday.
Police said Sunday that nearly 64,000 institutions had been inspected and 117 people detained following violent incidents on school grounds. In September, Polish intelligence services arrested a 17-year-old Nazi sympathiser suspected of plotting an attack against a school and a mosque.
Searches were continuing at the suspect’s home, ministry spokeswoman Karolina Galecka said, adding: “information about this man will of course then be verified by the police. “The man threatening an attack has been detained,” Tusk wrote on X, praising the police for their “swift and decisive action”. The suspect, a man in his 60s, was arrested in the southwestern region of Lower Silesia, Kierwinski told public broadcaster TVP Info. Galecka said police had been alerted by the State Protection Service following reports of a potential threat against the premier and defence minister.
Members of the police, SOP and Poland’s internal security agency met on Sunday to discuss the case.
