Russian involvement in an attempted arson attack at a bus garage belonging to the Prague transport company last week has been confirmed beyond doubt by the ongoing investigation, Interior Minister Vít Rakušan told a session of the Chamber of Deputies on Friday. He said the suspected arsonist, a foreign national, had acted alone. The police remained on high alert following the incident for fear there might be accomplices involved. The man poured gasoline on a number of busses and attempted to set them on fire. The suspect has been remanded in custody.
