Hungarian Police Seek Person Behind Explosions
"National Police have offered a Ft 5 million reward for the capture of the person responsible for three small explosions in recent weeks. The perpetrator places hand grenades in doorways then activates them by remote control. Explosions occurred on Eötvös utca in the 12th District on January 9 and on Bonyhádi utca in the 14th District on January 22, the National Bureau of Investigation (NNI) announced yesterday. The blasts damaged nearby doors and windows, but no-one was injured.

There was a third blast in a 15th District house in December, Magyar Hírlap adds.

The NNI is reportedly seeking a lone culprit who wants to draw attention to himself with the blasts.

The NNI’s anti-terrorism and anti-extremism department has joined the investigation and will consider dangerous figures associated with extremist organisations."
