Explosives planted in a tree which the motorcade of Soviet dictator Nikita Khrushchev and his Polish host Władysław Gomułka was due to pass went off an hour too early, sparing the two communist leaders. The incident occurred in the southern city of Sosnowiec in July 1959, Gazeta Wyborcza reported in its online service. Two years later, another bomb exploded in Sosnowiec whose target were to have been Gomułka and Edward Gierek.
