One of the suspects had already been convicted in absentia of acts of sabotage in Ukraine, Tusk told Poland's parliament.

On Monday, he visited the scene of an explosion near Mika, south-east of Warsaw, which damaged the railway line leading to the Ukrainian border at the weekend, and called it "an unprecedented act of sabotage".

Another incident further down the line near Pulawy on Monday forced a packed train to stop suddenly and damage was found to overhead cables.

Polish authorities had initially said there was a very high chance that the two acts of sabotage on the Warsaw-Lublin railway line on had been ordered by a "foreign service".
