Polish authorities uncover assassination plot against PM Tusk and Defense Minister Kosiniak-Kamysz, detain a suspect
Polish police received information on Sunday, October 11, 2026, about a possible plot to assassinate Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz. Security services held an emergency meeting at the Internal Security Agency's Counter-Terrorism Center, and a suspect described as a Polish national from the Lower Silesia region was subsequently detained. The announcement came amid heightened security following a wave of school stabbings in Poland's Mazovia province earlier that week.
