Doubt cast over authenticity of bomb plot video used by Justice Minister

By Zoltán Csipke

On Friday, Justice and Law Enforcement minister Tibor Draskovics presented a video of an explosion in a field, which he was said was committed by the “Hungarian Arrows National Liberation Army” (Magyarok Nyilai Nemzeti Felszabadító Hadsereg), hirtv.hu reports.

The opposition-friendly news channel added, however, that the video appears strikingly similar to a report from two years ago, when some high-school students built a bomb from things found around the house, doing so simply for the sake of it, and not with any political intent. The charges they faced after the explosion were not terrorism-related.

The National Office of Investigation (Nemzeti Nyomozói Iroda) promptly denied the allegations that the office was using evidence from a different crime in the video presented by Draskovics on Friday, and maintained that the video was evidence of actions by the Hungarian Arrows.

For the sake of comparison, here is the HírTV report which shows the video presented by Draskovics, and here is a clip taken from TV2 two years before.

    Totally blasphemous claims! No way a character like rat-dentured Draskovics would do such a thing. Especially after his prosperous reign as finance minister. One thing about these jewish bolsheviks is the unrefutable evidence, that they are experts at misappropriating anything they touch regardless of position. As long as the coffers have funds enough for stealing. Hey, if not one at law enforcement this time maybe… shoot…, shit, taken, the other crook at other positions stole everything in sight already..so Tibor, you are out of luck. Maybe you should go see gyurcsany, bajnai, kiss peter etc. and make some serious complaining to those bastards depriving you from well-deserved loot. How is it democratic, that you’ll be the next dispensible piece of rug having to scramble on and get by with only crums when the possy is after you?
