A foreign citizen was detained in Romania’s capital Bucharest on Monday after throwing a Molotov cocktail outside the Israeli embassy, causing no damage or casualties, police said.
The Romanian Intelligence Service said its anti-terrorism officers caught the 34-year-old suspect, who allegedly also threatened he will set himself on fire, and handed him over to police.
Police spokesman Georgian Dragan told local television station Digi24 that the suspect’s motives were personal and not motivated by Israel’s war in the Gaza Strip.
Odd timing for it to happen though.
