The Internal Security Agency – Poland’s special service in charge of counterintelligence and counterterrorism – has detained a German national suspected of participating in an organized crime group implicated in terrorist activities. The group has operated on the territory of Poland and other countries. The man was detained last week, after the officers of the ABW had found he could have possessed firearms and explosives. Jurgen K. (name withheld under Polish privacy laws) would also spread radical, anti-systemic views – mainly via the social media – and endorse extreme right-wing organizations. While searching the man’s workplace and the place he resided, the officers found explosives – 1.2 kilograms of TNT, both liquid and pressed – as well as ammunition, a detonator, a tear gas grenade and electronic storage devices.
