Blast injures Palestinian diplomat in Prague

A Palestinian diplomat has been injured by an explosion at his home in the Czech capital Prague, apparently while opening his safe.

The diplomat, named by Czech media as Jamal al-Jamal, was seriously injured and taken to hospital, police told AFP news agency, without giving details.

It appears that nobody else was hurt in the blast, which occurred in the city's Suchdol district, AP reports.

One Czech report suggests the diplomat suffered injuries to his limbs.
