Power supply attacks: Power sabotage: Search for suspects underway
The attempted acts of sabotage against the German power grid are increasing, with letters claiming responsibility. The police have found the vehicle of the suspected author - but he himself is still on the run.
German police are searching for a man suspected of sabotaging the country's power grid, with incidents reported in North Rhine-Westphalia, Brandenburg, and Saxony. The suspect, 48, is believed to have left behind explosive material at his home in Gevelsberg and a converted truck was found in a nearby forest. Two letters claiming responsibility for the attacks, which the interior minister described as "climate terrorism", were sent to media outlets, stating that generating electricity from fossil fuels is a "crime". The incidents have prompted calls for better protection of critical infrastructure.
