On Thursday afternoon, the Slovak police extradited to the Czech Republic a person whom Czech criminal investigators suspect, along with other people, of committing a terrorist attack on the armory in Pardubice. The court will decide on her detention. The Police Presidium of the Czech Republic reported about it on the X social network, writes TASR correspondent in Prague.
“Today at 1:40 p.m., a suspect from the terrorist attack in Pardubice was handed over to the Czech Republic at the joint workplace of the Czech and Slovak policemen in Hodonín/Holíč. The escort will take her to the court, which will decide on her detention,” the police wrote, thanking their Slovak colleagues for their cooperation.
Fire in Pardubice
A fire broke out in an industrial complex in Pardubice on March 20. The hall in which the fire started belongs to the Czech arms company LPP Holding, which also produces drones for Ukraine. The attack was claimed by the previously unknown group The Earthquake Faction, which claims that its aim was to destroy the “epicenter of the Israeli arms industry” in Europe. LPP Holding has repeatedly emphasized that it does not produce anything for Israel.
Accusations and detentions
According to the findings of the media, it follows from the proposals of the police to take the accused into custody that, based on the camera footage, a nine-member group committed the attack. However, the police did not specify the number of suspects. It reported on the first three detained persons on March 24, stating that one of them was detained in Slovakia. According to the findings of the media, she is an American woman. Other suspects were detained in Poland and Bulgaria.
