The bombs were planted by a mental guy who felt frustrated every time when his neighbours didn`t smile to him or drove too fast on the local street where they all lived. He decided to punish them. Rafal K., the 38-year-old man arrested on Friday in connection with a series of explosions in Krakow has reportedly confessed to planting the four bombs that injured five people this summer.
Bomb-making equipment was discovered both at the suspect's apartment, as well as at a nearby garage, both in the district of Swoszowice, on the southern outskirts of the city.
“The walls of his apartment were sound-proofed,” revealed Dariusz Nowak, a press spokesman for the Malopolska region's police.
“The various substances were in such large amounts that you could make a lot of bombs,” he added.
Andrzej Rokita, Chief of the Malopolska Police, acknowledged that tracking down the man had been a difficult operation.
“The case was extremely complicated, as the perpetrator did not leave any traces,” Rokita said.
Rafal K. ran a furniture-making business, for the purposes of which he rented a garage. According to Rokita, he lived alone and was “well-regarded by his neighbours.”
Several dozen people were evacuated during the search of the suspect's property, and police used a special robot to survey the premises.
Part of the garage had been used for his bomb-making activities, although it appears that the man recently moved a portion of the materials to his house.
A fifth bomb was discovered by police on Saturday on a construction site. The device was neutralised.
At present, no motive has been found for the attacks, which took place on residential properties. However, police believe that the victims were not selected at random. |

Very rarely can you see in Poland how police AT units surround the building and start a regular siege. It happened in Sanok, a sleepy town in southern Poland, yesterday. www.thenews.pl/1/9/Artykul/123812,Two-dead-after-Polish-antiter rorist-police-surround-apartment-block
The drama had begun in the early afternoon on Thursday, after shots were fired at a police car at the site.
A 32-year-old man, who was due to be arrested on suspicion of murder, allegedly fired the shots from an apartment on the fourth floor of the block.
The man and what is believed to be a female friend then barricaded themselves in the apartment.
Besides a detachment of anti-terrorist police from Warsaw, police from across the region descended on Sanok.
Inhabitants of the block were evacuated, as were children from nearby schools.     After a few hours, the bandit killed his girlfriend and himself. |
