Power supply: Reul: SEK storms vehicle of sabotage suspect
Attempts to sabotage the German power grid have caused a stir, with a confession letter being released. The police have found the author's vehicle - but he himself is on the run.
German police stormed a vehicle in Niederzier, near Düren, believed to belong to a 48-year-old man suspected of multiple sabotage attacks on the country's power supply. The man, from Gevelsberg, is thought to be on foot and police are searching the vehicle for clues. Authorities found explosives, including Kaliumnitrat and Kaliumperchlorat, at his home and in a letter claiming responsibility for recent attacks on power infrastructure in Brandenburg and Nordrhein-Westfalen.
Federal Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt described the incidents as likely "climate terrorism" by a lone perpetrator.
