The Czech police today arrested a right-wing admirer of Norwegian Anders Behring Breivik with an arsenal of weapons and explosives that might have served for an attack.
The suspect, 29-year and the city of Ostrava, was gathering ammunition with the possible aim of preparing attacks perpetrated inspired by Norwegian and that took the lives of 77 people. "We participated in track equipment, weapons, ammunition and explosives," said Police Chief Ostrava, Radovan Vojta, according collected Czech media.
"The work involved explosive device," he said about the operation conducted on 10 August and which also intervened a remote device to blow it up.
The capture operation was developed by a group of elite Czech police for fear that the suspect had explosives in his flat mounted to burst when they forced the door.
Vojta said that the detainee would probably impersonating a police officer during the attack he planned because he had purchased parts of uniforms of the troops, but acknowledged they do not know what could be the target of attack.
The suspect had been arrested in the past for various offenses, including possession of weapons, and used their Internet communication Breivik's nickname, which alerted investigators. For now, the police would not reveal details of the operation.
Some of the residents polled by the Czech media believe that the detainee was mentally unbalanced and not a right-wing militant.
In July last year Breivik carried out two attacks, which killed 77 people, eight in a bomb explosion in the government district of the capital and the remaining 69 in a shooting on the nearby island of Utoya, where he went disguised as police.
