Prosecutors in Poland have made several arrests linked to a suspected Russian-backed plot, allegedly aiming to route explosive parcels to the US and Canada via international couriers.
An apparent firebomb attack at a DHL warehouse in Birmingham, linked to Russian-backed saboteurs, was believed to be a trial run for a US attack, according to Polish officials. Poland's National Prosecutor's Office has confirmed four arrests after parcels 'containing explosives' were allegedly sent via courier companies to countries including the UK.
She added that four people involved in 'sabotage' and 'of an international nature were detained'. On Monday, Counter Terrorism Policing said the arrests reported by Polish authorities were not carried out as part of its investigation. It coincides with reports by the Wall Street Journal that the devices were 'electric massagers implanted with a magnesium-based flammable substance' and 'part of a wider Russian plot'. Russia has denied involvement.
