Would-be terrorist captured
A Hungarian man who identifies as an Islamist has been taken into custody for preparing an act of terror, the Capital Prosecutor General’s Office announced on Wednesday.
The statement said agents had questioned and detained a 21-year-old man who is suspected of preparing acts of terror on Hungarian territory.
Prosecutors carried out the operation with the co-operation of the Counter-Terrorist Centre (TEK).
The 21-year-old suspect was caught in Kecskemet and detectives impounded explosive devices.
Magyar Nemzet reports that the man wanted to set off bombs at several locations in Hungary, starting with the Puskas Stadium, the Budapest venue of the upcoming European Football Championships.
The man wanted to set off bombs at mass events and planned to drive into a crowd, TEK chief Janos Hajdu told a press conference on Wednesday.
He said the suspect had been under surveillance because he took part in conversations on online pages linked to the Islamic State terrorist group. (magyarnemzet.hu; hvg.hu; ugyeszseg.hu; index.hu; hang.hu; 24.hu; borsonline.hu)
