A Polish academic authorities say was fascinated with Norwegian mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik and upset over the economy was arrested on suspicion of plotting to kill the nation’s president and blow up Parliament.

An analysis of Breivik’s Internet purchases of explosives before he massacred 77 people last year led to the suspect’s arrest on Nov. 9, Prime Minister Donald Tusk said today. The 45-year-old “expert in explosives” from the Agricultural University in Krakow was trying to set up a group to kill President Bronislaw Komorowski and other officials during a session of Parliament, according to prosecutors.
