BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) Hungarys police chief says that authorities are hunting for a man who set off a homemade fragmentation bomb that seriously wounded two officers in central Budapest.
National police chief Karoly Papp said Sunday that police were the targets in the blast late Saturday, saying that the suspect wanted to execute my police officers. Papp didnt say why the suspect wanted to harm police officers, but he didnt rule out terrorism.
Police offered a 10-million-forint ($36,700) reward for information leading to the capture of the suspect, believed to be 20-25 years old and 170 centimeters (around 56?) tall./strong>
