Poland (AP):
Polish officials say bodyguards have been assigned to protect some politicians after officials found that the man who killed an opposition party activist last week had a hit list. The attacker fatally shot a low-ranking member of the Law and Justice party last Tuesday and shouted during the attack that he wanted to kill party leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski, brother of the president killed in a plane crash earlier this year. The plane crash revealed bitter political divisions in Poland. Prime Minister Donald Tusk said yesterday that security has been stepped up for some politicians, but wouldn't say for whom. Former left-wing prime minister Leszek Miller and two lawmakers told The Associated Press they had been assigned bodyguards.
