Janusz Kordulski, a spokesman for the office, has confirmed that the suspects have been provisionally held for three months.

The Internal Security Agency (ABW) was entrusted with the probe, and unofficially, the Polish Press Agency has been informed that the suspects are Chechens who were allegedly funding operations by the Islamic State.

MP Marek Biernacki, head of the parliamentary committee for the special services, has described the ABW's action as a success.

He noted that the threat of the Islamic State is due to be discussed as the next session of the committee.

“We should know more details about the ABW action by then,” he added. (nh)
