Explosives found at Palestinian embassy
Print Edition
Czech investigators have discovered explosives at the Palestinian embassy complex in Prague, where a possibly booby-trapped safe killed the ambassador on January 1, police said yesterday.
Police discovered 12 illegal weapons following the explosion at the embassy that killed Ambassador Jamal al-Jamal, but this is the first time that authorities said explosives were also found in the new complex that includes the embassy and the ambassador’s residence.
It remains unclear what caused the safe to explode but the ambassador’s death is being investigated as a case of negligence.
Police said they have sent the explosives for tests.
The Palestinians have officially apologized after the Czech Foreign Ministry accused them of breaching international obligations.
Police said yesterday they received a letter from the Palestinian authorities saying the weapons were gifts from officials of the former communist Czechoslovakia.
