Warsaw-Sana
Polish security services announced today the foiling of a terrorist attack with bombs and firearms by a far-right group and the arrest of its members.
"The Polish authorities have arrested the suspects in the capital Warsaw and the city of Szczecin," Stanslaw Zarin of the Polish Internal Security Agency said, referring to the seizure of chemicals they had used to make large quantities of explosives after inspections in central, southern and northwestern parts of the country.
He pointed out that "the arrests came after the collection of information by the Internal Security Agency on an extremist group whose aim was to intimidate Muslims in Poland."
Although the spokesman did not name the group involved in the plot and did not give details about its plans, he considered that it was inspired by the attacks carried out by far-right extremists such as Norwegian Anders Breivik and Australian Brenton Tarrant.
Brevik used a truck bomb and then pistols to kill 77 people, mostly young people, in Norway in July 2011. Tarant killed and injured dozens of people in an attack on two mosques in New Zealand in March this year.
