Over last two years, 30 people came to Czech Republic and were later arrested as terrorists

About 30 people who were later arrested for being involved in terrorist activities had visited the Czech Republic in the last two years, the weekly Respekt reports. Quoting information from the police and the BIS, the Czech intelligence service, the weekly says Czech security experts only learnt about this after the persons were arrested elsewhere. The police and the intelligence service believe that possible meetings of terrorists in the Czech Republic suggest no terrorist attack is planned in the country. However, U.S. authorities have not denied a report by ABC television earlier this month that Prague was a terrorist target along with Glasgow. Security measures for some sensitive buildings, such as the Radio Free Europe headquarters, have been tightened as a result.
