Terrorist group responsible for arson attacks across Europe taken to court
Authorities from the Czech Republic, #Lithuania, #Poland and #Romania found links between attempted and actual arson attacks in their respective countries. In Romania, a suspect was arrested in July 2024 after he was caught taking photos of possible locations to set on fire. In the Czech Republic, investigations revealed that a suspect had set fire to buses in Prague by spraying oil and pouring petrol over them before setting fire to the substances. He also scouted other locations for follow-up attacks. In Lithuania, the suspects targeted a factory producing materials for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Although the suspects had brought all the materials needed to commit the attack, they abandoned their plan when pedestrians passed by. The second attempt was successful, although no damage was caused as insufficient flammable material was used.
