Polish intelligence services have apprehended a 17-year-old individual, identified as Pawel G, suspected of plotting an attack against a school and a mosque. The suspect has been charged with plotting a terrorist attack, promoting Nazi and fascist ideology, inciting racial hatred, and attempting to purchase weapons. During the investigation, authorities discovered correspondence related to planning mass attacks, including assaults on a school and a mosque, acquisition of weapons, ammunition, military equipment, and the use of grenades and Molotov cocktails.
Explosives, knives, a bayonet, and items bearing Nazi and fascist symbols were also seized from the suspect's home.

The suspect, who faces up to 15 years in prison, has denied the charges against him.
