A foreign citizen was detained in Romania’s capital Bucharest on Monday after throwing a Molotov cocktail outside the Israeli embassy, causing no damage or casualties, police said.

The Romanian Intelligence Service said its anti-terrorism officers caught the 34-year-old suspect, who allegedly also threatened he will set himself on fire, and handed him over to police.

      Apparently the guy requested to see and talk to an official but was repeatedly refused, so he went bonkers and threw a molotov cocktail at the building and then tried to set himself on fire.
