Polish Connection to Czech Factory Arson: Arrests Made
Two Polish citizens have been detained in relation to an arson attack on a Czech optics and drone factory. The attack was linked to pro-Palestinian activism, and remains under investigation. The targeted factory, part of Czech defense group LPP Holding, was reportedly developing weapons for Israel.
Two Polish nationals have been arrested following an arson attack on an optics and drone factory in the Czech Republic, Polish prosecutors announced on Wednesday.
The attack, occurring between March 19 and 20, inflicted damage on a building operated by Czech defense firm LPP Holding in Pardubice. An online group claimed the company was involved in developing weapons for Israel. Prosecutors noted the two accused will be held for three months as the investigation, still in early stages, continues.
Local broadcaster TVP Info identified the detained as 22 and 23-year-old pro-Palestinian activists taken into custody by the Internal Security Agency on March 24. The agency has yet to confirm these details. The incident adds to a broader investigation involving earlier detentions of five other suspects by Czech and Slovak police.
