Polish police said on Sunday they received information about a possible plot to attack Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Defence Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, according to The Guardian. Security officials held an emergency meeting in response, Deutsche Welle and Al Jazeera report.
The Guardian reports that a government spokesperson described the threat, which also names the defence minister, as "exceptionally concerning". Al Jazeera says police are investigating the alleged plot.
The Guardian says Poland has been on high alert after a series of school stabbings this week, and amid fears of a possible Russian hybrid attack meant to weaken western support for Ukraine. Deutsche Welle also notes a wave of violence at Polish schools this week. None of the reports link the school violence or Russia to the alleged plot.
