Russia may be behind Prague bus arson attempt, Czech premier says

Russia may be behind an attempted arson attack on Prague city buses last week, Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala said on Monday.

Police said they arrested a 26-year-old man on Saturday in connection with the foiled plot and charged him with terrorism.

“There is suspicion that the attack was organised and financed probably from Russia,” Fiala told a news conference.

“It is part of a hybrid war waged against us by Russia against which we have to defend ourselves and which we must stop. Russia is repeatedly trying to sow unrest, undermine citizens’ trust in our state.”
