The suspect planned to exploit it on a day when there were many people in the building.
According to R. Kiškis, the young man, accused of assault in 1999, manufactured the explosive with a watch mechanism, because he acquired the necessary knowledge while studying and legally acquired the components for the explosive.
“The individual segments for explosives can be purchased legally. The equivalent, as explained by the experts, would be equivalent to 2.5 kilograms of trotile. He explained that the building would be terribly damaged. Adding nails or other materials would greatly harm people. It was not an attempt to intimidate. A very small error was made in the device, we reacted in time. With a clockwork, yes, ”the head of the Lithuanian Criminal Police Office told BNS.

According to R. Kiškis, although the accused himself belongs to the far-right extremist group “Feuerkrieg Division” and is suspected of producing and storing explosives and high-explosive explosives for terrorist purposes, it has not been established that he had any accomplices in Lithuania.
“He studied in Vilnius, but when he was arrested, he had already stopped studying. But he studied where it is possible to obtain knowledge about the explosive. He was radicalized, he supported radical neo-Nazi movements, he was interested in relevant literature, he supported relevant movements in foreign states, radicalized opinions against national minorities, against the established democratic order. He just wanted to draw attention to himself, to protest in some way, “said the head of the criminal police.
“But if he communicated with people from other countries it is the fact that he communicated because one did not think of it,” he added.
