The 2016 Wrocław attack occurred at 2 p.m. on 19 May 2016. A package bomb-like device was detonated next to a bus, injuring one person. The package was a cooker containing nails and explosives. A week later, a 22-year-old chemistry student was arrested suspected of carrying out this home-made bomb attack.[1] During his trial, the man claimed that his intent was to warn and not to harm anyone.[2]
