In a shocking turn of events, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico was the target of an attempted assassination on Wednesday. The incident took place in the town of Handlova, where Fico was shot multiple times while greeting supporters after a government meeting. Following a five-hour operation, doctors have reported that Fico's condition is serious but stable.
The suspect, described as a 'lone wolf' by government authorities, was escorted by police to his home in Levice on Friday morning as part of a search for evidence. Media reports suggest that the suspect is a 71-year-old retiree with a background in amateur poetry and previous work as a security guard at a mall.
