Poland Probes Possible Attack on Prime Minister, Defense Minister
The Story
Polish police received information about a possible attack planned on Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, prompting a security meeting convened by Poland.
The information was shared by police, according to Al Arabiya English. The nature of the dangerous object used in a stabbing attack at a Warsaw college on Saturday, which injured three people, is not specified. This incident marks the third school attack in Poland in less than a week. Police detained 76 people nationwide and checked nearly 50,000 schools as a preventative measure following two earlier school attacks.
The attacks, carried out by Polish nationals, are described as a new phenomenon in a country where school violence by minors is uncommon. Russia seeks to spread disinformation and sow panic by exploiting the situation, according to Kosiniak-Kamysz.
