Belarusian authorities uncover weapons and tighten border security in response to potential terrorist threat.
Belarusian security forces have discovered an arsenal of weapons intended for "terrorist" attacks, following the killing of a foreigner who allegedly was planning a terrorist attack near the Polish border. Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said the special services have worked brilliantly and confiscated a whole arsenal of weapons and explosives intended for high-profile terrorist attacks against citizens and government officials. The head of the opposition movement ByPol claimed Belarusian authorities might have staged the incidents in Grodno to discredit the opposition and create the appearance of a threat from NATO and Poland.
