Polish Teen Accused of Plotting Islamic Terror Attack

A 17-year-old Polish citizen who was living in the country's Podkarpackie region has been arrested on suspicion of planning a mass attack inspired by Islamic ideology, no doubt radical. The teenager is accused of supporting Islamic State (ISIS) and groups associated with jihadism, through sharing propaganda, online content and provoking attacks.

The man was plotting an attack on a particular group of people based on their nationality or religion, the Tarnobrzeg District Prosecutor's Office said on Friday. The plan was intended to be in support of the objectives of ISIS and like-minded extremist organizations, authorities said.

Weapons manuals and assassination plans discovered
The teenager was in possession of copious material on terrorist tactics, prosecutors said. This included tutorials for firearms, explosives and incendiary devices, poisons and bomb-making. They also found an assassination list with the names of people and the firearms meant to execute them.

Prosecutors said the suspect had made notes for an attack on a school in the Podkarpackie province. Though the teenager conceded he was inspired to violence during questioning, he disputed he was preparing for a terrorist act.

It could have up to a decade in prison for charges
The 17-year-old has been indicted for preparing a mass attack, incitement to hatred and online dissemination of propaganda for jihadist violence. He has been detained pending investigation for three months. If found guilty, he could be sentenced to 10 years in prison.

Prosecutors emphasized that the investigation is continuing and that other evidence is being examined to establish how much he actually carried out.

    Another senior US military figure has been shown the door. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has pushed General Christopher Donahue into early retirement, removing one of the Army's most respected commanders from a role he had held for less than two years. Donahue, who has served as the head of US Army Europe and Africa since late 2024 and also holds the position of NATO's top land forces commander, will officially step down on July 2. The move is part of a broader and deeply controversial restructuring of America's senior military leadership under the Trump administration.

    A major Europe-wide traffic operation kicks off Monday, and it is going to last well beyond a single day.

The operation spans EU member states and goes beyond just pulling drivers over — it combines roadside checks with preventative measures and public education campaigns. The busiest day is expected to be Friday, June 19, when the highest concentration of sobriety patrols will be out on the roads.

    Petrol stations across Russian-occupied Crimea went dry on Thursday, a visible sign of how effectively Ukraine has been squeezing the peninsula's supply lines from the air. In Sevastopol, the largest city on the peninsula, most filling stations had nothing to offer. Even the rationing system put in place in recent weeks was struggling to function. In the resort town of Yevpatoriya, drivers lined up outside the only station still operating, hoping for whatever little was left.
