Unknown gay group claims behind bomb hoax in Warsaw

Warsaw, Poland

20 October 2005 04:30

An unknown gay rights group claimed it planted a dozen fake bombs around Warsaw that paralysed the Polish capital on Thursday, three days before the second round of a presidential election.

"You paralyse our life, we'll paralyse yours," a lengthy e-mail sent to media groups in Warsaw said, referring among other issues to a ban on a gay pride parade by Warsaw Mayor Lech Kaczynski, who is running on the conservative Law and Justice (PiS) party's ticket in Sunday's vote against Donald Tusk of the liberal Civic Platform (PO).

"Electing Kaczynski would mean the destruction of Poland, a divided Poland, shaken by Kaczynski-wars which aim to win total power," said the five-page typed letter, which was signed by the hitherto unheard of Gay Power Brigade.

"I think this claim is also a fake," Kaczynski told a press conference, expressing doubt that homosexual rights groups were behind the hoax.

"I know that gay groups are very well organised but not for this type of operation," he said, adding that the city of Warsaw would pay a reward of 100 000 zlotys (€25 000) for information leading to the arrest of those who placed the fake bombs.

Parts of the Polish capital ground to a halt during Thursday's morning rush hour as police investigated a telephone warning that a dozen bombs had been placed at strategic spots around the city.

Interior Minister Ryszard Kalisz said later on Thursday that 13 bombs had been found.

"Alerted by inhabitants, the police found a total of 13 fake bombs that had been placed at key sites around the capital," Kalisz told reporters after a morning of traffic chaos caused by the bomb scare.

"The 'bombs' were very professionally done, and it was only after thorough checks that officials were able to say we were dealing with fakes," said Kalisz, confirming earlier reports from the police department that no explosives had been found in the suspect packages.

According to Kalisz, suspect parcels were also found on Wednesday, at the mainline train stations in Gdansk, Gdynia and Sopot, on the Baltic coast. One person was detained in connection with those incidents, but Kalisz refused to say whether they were linked to the hoax in Warsaw.

Two suspects were detained on Thursday in Warsaw but were not positively identified by witnesses who said they saw the parcels being laid around the capital, including at strategic points such as the Charles de Gaulle and United Nations roundabouts, which lie on a main avenue that cuts through the city.

It was unclear if any of the suspects were still in custody. Kalisz called on Poles to be vigilant and contact the police if they spotted any more suspect parcels. - AFP

"If not for the pretty pink ribbons attached to the bombs we would have assumed in was Al Qaeda", authorities said.

Sounds like these "guys" are only one step away from planting real bombs.

The only way to tell that they were a hoax was the color coordination, and tasteful use of textures.

"Put it there!"   "No, there!"
"Listen, no one will see it
if you put it there!"

"Hello, it's a bomb!
No one's supposed to see it!"
"But a bomb can't blend . . ."

"Gay Power Brigade" ?

I don't believe It.

That must have been:

1.Stupid joke. or
2.Secret anti-terror exercises. or
3.Terrorists were checking quality of security.

Kielbasa in Polish means "sausage" and strange as it may seem it has no associations with male genitals. But maybe in American Polish it may have other meanings as well. I don't know.

Well, being that Kielbasa in the states is used to distinguish "Polish Sausage" (IE that made with turkey and Pork like my Bapscia's) from the 100 types of sausage we have in this country, I thought that it was appropo.

I always heard that Krakow was the "San Francisco" of Poland, with a sizeable Gay population.

By Bapscia do you mean your grandma? i.e Babcia in Polish? Are you of Polish origin? If so you surely haven't used your ancestors' language for a long time! ;)

I used to live in Krakow for several years and I haven't noticed this city being more homosexual than any other city in Poland. Fags always claim to be more numerous than they actually are. If this is in the genes there shouldn't be any difference between San Francisco or Czestochowa, don't you think? But of course, it is always easier for them to find their likes in a big city than in a small one.
Another point is that Krakow is a very conservative and Catholic city, so any attempt for a GayParade or something like that would result in a riot. No, "Krakow as Poland's SF" is a myth, definitely. Warsaw more likely ;)))

My father's grandparents were from the area near Zakopane. Mother's family is Italian. Nope, I never learned the language.

Hahaha. Now I see the roots of your Polish-Italian spelling of Bapscia. No offence was meant of course, you understand :)) Cheers.
