Prague, Aug 3 (ČTK)
- The Czech police are checking the spread of the news about allegedly
threatening terrorist attacks in shops and the public transport, but the
stories appearing mainly online are false, police command spokeswoman Ivana
Nguyenova said at a press release yesterday.
Nguyenova said at
the moment, the police had no information on any danger of a terrorist attack
in the Czech Republic.
In the past
months, such reports were frequent, but the police have assessed them as a sort
of hoax, she added.
"We can
assure the fellow citizens that the Czech police are dealing with the spread of
such news. This is so both on the level of regional commands and within the
terrorism and extremism section of the National Organised Crime Centre,"
Nguyenova said.
The reports bring
the description of variously modified stories, Nguyenova said.
"This may be
the story of a man who finds a wallet with money and then finds its owner, a
Muslim. He returns the wallet to him," she added.
"Within the
thanks, the owner of the wallet tells the finder that he should not go to some
places, such as a department store or should not use public transport, a
specific metro line, for a time," Nguyenova said. […]
