Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Poland Arrests Second Man Over Threats To Prime Minister Tusk

Caption: Poland Arrests Second Man Over Threats To Prime Minister Tusk. Polish police have arrested a second man over alleged threats against Prime Minister Donald Tusk and other senior politicians in the space of three days. The 46-year-old suspect was detained in Oborniki in western Poland and accused of calling for the murder of Tusk and parliament speaker Włodzimierz Czarzasty. Prosecutors charged him with inciting murder and insulting Tusk, Czarzasty and a journalist at public broadcaster TVP Info. He also faces charges of insulting Defence Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, former President Lech Wałęsa and governing coalition lawmaker Krzysztof Paszyk. The suspect allegedly posted messages calling for killings on Facebook and TikTok between August 3 and October 7. His detention came two days after another man was arrested on suspicion of planning an attack against Tusk and Kosiniak-Kamysz. Polish security officials said there was a "strong probability" that the threats in the earlier case could have been carried out. Authorities have not established any connection between the two suspects and have not identified specific motives for the alleged threats.
