Unknown gunman fires on BIS building in Prague

A gunshot by an unknown assailant was fired at the Prague headquarters of the Czech counter-intelligence service, the BIS, on Thursday. At the time members of the parliamentary committee overseeing the service were on site. The news was revealed by the deputy head of the lower house Lubomir Zaoralek and committee head Jeronym Tejc on Friday. Mr Tejc confirmed he had received the information directly from BIS director Jiri Lang. The projectile from the shooting has been recovered and is being analysed by ballistics experts.
