Police find explosives at Palestinian embassy in Prague

PRAGUE (AP) — Czech investigators have discovered explosives at the Palestinian Embassy complex in Prague where a possibly booby-trapped safe killed the ambassador on Jan. 1, police said Thursday.

Police discovered 12 illegal weapons following the explosion at the embassy that killed Ambassador Jamal al-Jamal, but this is the first time that authorities said explosives also were found in the new complex that includes the embassy and the ambassador’s residence.

Police provided few details about the discovery, but Deputy Palestinian Foreign Minister Taysir Jaradat said the explosives “were either part of the one that went off and killed the ambassador, or near to it but didn’t explode.”

“We rule out a political assassination,” Jaradat said in an interview with The Associated Press.
