Where did the attacker threw molotov cocktail?”
The Roma community and civil society activists in the Czech Republic are to take part in a nationwide protest on Sunday, against the latest violent attack on a Romani family. Molotov cocktails were thrown into Robert Kudrik’s home in the village of Vítkov on 18 April, where he lived with his partner, four children and three more family members. The fire destroyed their home and seriously injured the parents. Their two-year-old daughter, Natálka, is in a coma with burns covering 80 per cent of her body. According to the police, the motive of the attack remains unclear, but racially motivated crime cannot be ruled out. “Amnesty International joins the Czech Romani civil society in their call to the authorities to stand up to growing extremism in the country,” said Nicola Duckworth, the organization’s Europe and Central Asia Programme Director. Violent attacks by far-right groups against the Romani community have intensified in some areas of the Czech Republic. An increasing number of mar
An 18-year-old student armed with an ax and knives lobbed Molotov cocktails at his high school in southern Germany. ——————– Attacker wounds 9 students at German school By BRIGITTE CASPARY (AP) – 6 minutes ago ANSBACH, Germany — An 18-year-old student armed with an ax and knives lobbed Molotov cocktails at his high school in southern Germany on Thursday, wounding nine pupils before he was shot and arrested by police. The teenager entered the Carolinum High School in the Bavarian town of Ansbach on Thursday morning and threw one Molotov cocktail before police were alerted and arrived at the scene, said Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann. Police smelled smoke when they arrived at the school, Hermann said. They were confronted by the ax-wielding teen, who had thrown a second Molotov cocktail that apparently failed to detonate. “Since the attacker threatened to use his weapons against the police, the officers opened fire,” Hermann said, adding that the attacker, who wa
The attacker was arrested after police were called to the Carolinum high school near Nuremberg. Police said none of the injuries are life-threatening, but one child was seriously hurt. Local media reported that the 19-year-old attacker stormed the high school with an axe and Molotov cocktail. The attacker himself was also injured, and local police have evacuated the school. “The attacker has been arrested, is injured and is on the way to hospital,” said Nuremberg police spokesman Peter Grimm. Police said in a statement that the attacker entered the school at 8:35 am local time (0635 GMT) and was overpowered 10 minutes later. The attack has aroused widespread attention within local media as last Saturday’s murder of a businessman in Munich shocked Germans.
