Palestinian diplomat in Prague injured in blast | |
(35 minutes later) | |
A Palestinian diplomat has been injured by an explosion at his home in the Czech capital Prague, apparently while opening his safe. | |
The diplomat, named by Czech media as Jamal al-Jamal, was seriously injured and taken to hospital, police told AFP news agency, without giving details. | |
It appears that nobody else was hurt in the blast, which occurred in the city's Suchdol district, AP reports. | |
One Czech report suggests the diplomat suffered injuries to his limbs. | |
"I can only confirm there was a detonation in the residence of a Palestinian diplomat," police spokeswoman Andrea Zoulova told AFP. | |
"The diplomat suffered a serious injury and was taken to hospital. We are investigating the causes." | |
The Palestinian Liberation Organisation (PLO), which is recognised by the UN and Israel as representing the Palestinian people, has diplomats based in European and other capitals, and has a mission in Prague. |
