Video: Polish police prepare for Euro 2012 with mock train siege With Poland preparing to co-host the tournament with neighbours Ukraine in June and July, the dramatic training scenario was designed to showcase the nation's preparedness for a terrorist attack. The engineered drama featured armed attackers hijacking a train full of football fans and was typical of the types of situations German and Spanish police have been training their Polish counterparts to cope with. "This situation may seem very extreme and we hope it will never happen, but we want to be ready for every eventuality," said Janusz Wojtowicz from the Lublin police. With their international trainers supervising, the security forces practised storming the train to release the hostages. German police officer Knut Lindenai said: "It is important to do this because the presence of many people in one place is a favourable situation for terrorists and hardened criminals. The Polish police were able to prove that they are very well prepared for this sort of scenario. The exercise, part of an ongoing training regime, involved 250 officers from different forces including police and border guards. English fans are not initially scheduled to visit Poland as the national team play all three of their group fixtures in the Ukraine.
