A Polish man was arrested on Tuesday after he allegedly attempted to blow up Parliament.

The man, who has not been named, was reportedly motivated by far-right nationalism and antisemitism.

According to Reuters, prosecutor Piotr Krason told a news conference: “The suspect does not belong to a political group or party.

“He claims that he was acting on nationalistic, antisemitic and xenophobic motives.”
