Polish Police Stop Plot to Blow up Parliament

Poland's Parliament building
Polish police say they have made arrests in a plot to blow up Parliament.

Two men were arrested and enough explosives to build a four ton bomb were confiscated, as were body armor, guns, and hundreds of rounds of ammunition.

The men had connections to Anders Breivik, who in 2011 killed seventy-seven people with his combination of bomb and shooting, in Norway.

Connections between him and the men, spawned the investigation.

Their plan was to blow up Parliament, on an occasion when all government officials would be present.

Prime Minister Donald Tusk said, "Let this be a signal to all of us that we should be wise from harm, and renounce the language of hatred and violence in the public debate", during a speech in which he congratulated police on their work.
