Prague: An assassination attempt on German Chancellor Angela Merkel has reportedly been foiled here as Czech police detained an armed man who tried to join her motorcade during visit to the capital. "The perpetrator has been detained," the Mirror quoted police spokesman Josef Bocan as saying on Thursday.
"He is suspected of attempting to cause a crime -- specifically an attempt to use violence against an official," he said. "The incident is currently being investigated by Prague detectives," the spokesman added.
Merkel, who was in Prague to meet Czech Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka, was travelling from the airport to the city when the suspicious Black Mercedes appeared. The driver refused to obey orders coming from the police cars accompanying the German Chancellor.
