Iraqi man arrested in Poland under suspicion of planning terrorist attack

EFEWarsaw25 Jul 2016

An Iraqi national was arrested Sunday in the city of Lodz (central Poland) after police discovered traces of explosive agents on his clothes.

A spokesman for the local prosecutor's office said on Monday that the 48-year-old man, who has no permanent address in Poland, was detained on charges of possessing explosives and was possibly planning to commit a terrorist attack.

The arrest took place days before Pope Francis is set to arrive in Poland to meet with Catholic youth from around the world gathering for this year's World Youth Day celebrations in Krakow.

The man will remain in preventive detention for the next two months and could be sentenced to up to eight years in prison for illegal possession of explosives, according to prosecutors.

The Polish Interior Minister, Mariusz Blaszczak, said Monday that there was no indication of a terrorist threat in Poland.

Blaszczak also blamed "multiculturarist" policies for Europe's current state of insecurity.

"To me, there is no doubt that the problems afflicting our neighbors are the result of decades of immigration and multiculturalist policies, of accepting Middle Eastern and North African immigrants who do not integrate into European society," he said.

In anticipation of the pontiff's arrival on Wednesday, Polish authorities have declared the highest level of national security alert, although Blaszczak clarified it was a preventive measure with no relation to Sunday's arrest.

Poland has re-introduced border checks with its EU neighbors (Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Lithuania), as well as tightened controls at sea ports and airports.

Blaszczak confirmed Poland has denied entry to 200 people in the past few weeks.

Strasno, rasirili se i po V4 skupini. Gde svet srlja. Jos jedan muslimanski ubojica na svetog oca papu.

Da li se to ponavlja scenarij sa Ali Agdzom, sto bese ranio Ivana Pavao II. Bilo bi nenadoknadiv gubitak i mozda okidac za novi krizarski rat.

Providjenje i psi spasili su padrea.

Svjet se menja, ljudi se menjaju, pape menjaju misljenja, glediste, dogmu. Panta rei, sve tece, sve se menja. Inace se pogubis.

Da su ga makli, ko bi po hijerarhiji dobio tron Sv.Petra, ima li zamenika. Ili bi bili neki novi unutarnji izbori od kardinala ?

Hvala, 2/3 je dobra solucija, umesto proste vecine, koja moze lakse dovesti do rascepa i raskola. Ovde se rade koaliranja i interesi, kao kod politicara.

A 48-year-old Iraqi man has been arrested on charges of possessing explosives in Poland. The arrest in Lodz comes just days ahead of Pope Francis’ visit to Poland for World Youth Day.

Small amounts of explosives, “not sufficient to make an explosion” were found on the man, according to Beata Marczak, spokeswoman for prosecutors in the central Polish city of Lodz said. He could face up to eight years in prison if convicted on charges of illegal possession of explosives, she added.

Explosive traces were found on the man’s luggage and clothes at hotels in Lodz and Krakow, news channel Polsat News reported. The man was reportedly arrested at a hotel in Lodz on Sunday and was reportedly in possession of notes on preparing terrorist acts against French supermarkets in Poland.

The man was reportedly questioned by the Internal Security Agency in English and put under two months’ arrest. Marczak said there are as yet no legal grounds for categorizing this as terrorism,” Marczak said.
Lodz court spokesman Pawel Urbaniak said on Monday that the man’s identity is being investigated as he had “very basic” documents on him. Polsat News said the man had arrived in Poland a couple of weeks ago after being expelled from Sweden and had lived in Switzerland for several years previously….

At least 25 people were detained in the Polish town of Elk on Sunday after they smashed up a kebab diner and clashed with police, throwing firecrackers and stones. Up to 300 people took part in a rally after a Pole was allegedly killed by men of Arab descent.

Central Europe Dying Out?

Assuming that current demographic trends are here to stay, every third inhabitant out of 30 million in Poland will have retired in 2050, whereas the combined population of Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary will have diminished by as many as 12 million people. This is the prospective trigger for geopolitical collapse of the whole region.

If you also take into account strong trends of emigration of young people in some of the states in the region, plus deficient immigration, this will undoubtedly result in further, strong drops of population and adverse structural changes. According to the Eurostat forecast, the populations of Bulgaria, Latvia, Lithuania and Romania will go down by over 20 percent by 2050. As for Poland and Slovakia, this number is approximately 18 per cent. The population of Hungary and Czech Republic will decrease by 10 per cent compared to the year 2012.

In absolute numbers, this means that the total population figures of the four states in the region: Poland, Slovakia, Czech Republic and Hungary will, by the middle of this century, have gone down by 10–12 million.

What are the economic and geopolitical consequences of the fact that in less than 50 years, every third inhabitant Poland (inhabited by 30 million people) will be retired? Most of all, they include rapid decrease in total production, decline of GDP and, as a result, a decreased level of wealth for the population. As for geopolitical impact, Poland will probably lose some of its importance on the international scene. It is also plausible that its defence capabilities will weaken, whereas internally, it is bound to observe more conservative behaviours, as well as growing importance of pressure groups representing the needs of the elderly.

...a Poljaci nijesu Njemci i Nizozemci...vec vreli i borbeni ultras katolici.

Poljaci su, kao i većina, odavno "uškopljeni".

Budi malo realan, u Poljskoj skoro svake nedelje organizuju proteste, samo što je cenzura kod njih mnogo gora nego kod nas jer i oni ko i mi na vlasti imaju ološe i imbecile
