WARSAW (Reuters) - Poland's prosecutor general said he was prepared to step down after law enforcement officers raided a magazine trying to seize leaked tapes that embarrassed senior officials, but felt that was not the right course of action.

Prosecutors, internal security agency officers and police raided the offices of the Wprost news magazine on Wednesday, after the magazine published tapes of private conversations between senior officials, which have triggered a political crisis.
