FEARS OF MAJOR TERROR ATTACK AS FULLY EQUIPPED BOMB LABORATORY DISCOVERED

An elite special forces team say they also arrested terrorists with "extreme religious beliefs" in a raid, which came just days after Islamic State's horrific attacks in Paris.

The major siege was carried out by Hungary's Terror Prevention Center (TEK).

Janos Hajdu, head of TEK, said: "The group which is formed of two Hungarian and two non-Hungarian citizens with extreme religious beliefs, might have international connections.

"They could have carried out a huge devastation in the Hungarian capital Budapest, if we didn't catch them in the very last moment."

The special forces acted immediately after they received information from an unnamed source on Sunday that there might be weapons and bombs in the group's car. 

The group was heading to Budapest in their cars, and they were on the border of the city when they were caught.

After the arrests, the special forces carried out a house-search at the hideout of the alleged terrorists. 

Hajdu added: "We found a proper bomb laboratory with test tubes, just like in films." The investigators found huge amount of a special material, used to create bombs. 

They also discovered pieces of metal that could cause huge devastation when put into explosives. 

The also found a fire-extinguisher fully loaded with explosives, a pipe bomb, a detonator used on explosive belts, and equipment used to create all these extremely dangerous weapons. 

Hajdu added: "The arrested persons had a tendency to carry out extreme actions, they belong to an extremist group and their technical preparedness is highly suspicious. "It is possible that they didn't want to use these weapons themselves, but they were creating them for someone else."

The special forces increased their actions in Hungary after the terrorist attacks in Paris on November 13 in order to guarantee the safety of 'highly protected persons' in the country. 

The latest arrest was said to be a result of the increased anti-terror activity. 

In the course of these actions they also arrested two Hungarian citizens on Saturday armed with automatic weapons and home-made silencers in their car. But in that case they haven't found any international connections or extreme religious notions.
