Keep your eyes on this story as it is claimed the man has connections to Breivik. Polish man 'planned to blow up parliament' Polish prosecutors say they have foiled a planned terror attack against the president, cabinet ministers and MPs. A 45-year-old academic researcher has been arrested on suspicion of planning to detonate four tonnes of explosives in a vehicle at the parliament building during a budget debate, they say. He has been charged with planning a terrorist attack and faces up to five years in prison if convicted. Two other men were arrested for possessing illegal firearms. The Polish citizen who has been arrested is accused of assembling a small arsenal of explosive material, weapons and remote-controlled detonators, and attempting to recruit others to his cause, says the BBC's Adam Easton in Warsaw. The suspect, who has not been identified by name, was building bombs himself and also had detonators, said prosecutor Mariusz Krason. He has confessed in part to the suspicions against him, including planning an assassination of the state leaders, Mr Krason added. The officials broadcast videos taken from the suspect's home, which they said showed test explosions he had carried out. They said the man, an explosives expert who worked at Krakow's Agricultural University, did not belong to any political group. The man's motives were described however as "nationalistic, xenophobic and anti-Semitic" in character. source
If it turns out that this guy is connected to Breivik, that will be pretty ironic. Poles have long been the victim of far right ideology, with the Nazies being a good example of that. Granted, they've also been the victim of far left ideology from Soviet occupation as well.
Its difficult to find English reports but here is one mentioning the link: The 45-year-old Polish university researcher's plan was uncovered during an investigation into Polish links to convicted Norwegian mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik, Prime Minister Donald Tusk said. Breivik, a radical nationalist who killed 77 people when he bombed the Oslo government quarter before continuing on to the Island of Utøya to kill dozens at a political youth camp, bought material for making bombs in Poland, security officials said. Polish television also cited sources close to the investigation saying that the suspect planned to copy Breivik's methods. Police arrested the suspect, a university researcher, in Krakow on Nov. 9. An employee at the city's University of Agriculture, he had access to chemistry labs and was in illegal possession of explosive materials, guns and munitions. Authorities also found a homemade video of a large test explosion apparently made by the suspect amid his belongings. "He is a specialist in the field," prosecutor Mariusz Krason said during a press conference in Warsaw. Authorities believe the unnamed man, who had allegedly concocted a sophisticated plan to detonate a four-ton bomb at the parliament building in Warsaw with top leaders and lawmakers inside, was driven by nationalistic and anti-Semitic ideas. "He believed that the current social and political situation in our country is moving in the wrong direction," said Krason, adding that the suspect thought that those in charge were "not true Poles." source This brings into perspective the claims that Breivik was motivated by zionism as his contact here is described as antisemitic. There is talk of extreme rightwing nationalism and the idea is to destroy the government for allowing foreign culture in.
