Power supply: SEK raids vehicle of sabotage suspect

German police stormed a vehicle in Niederzier, near Düren, belonging to a 48-year-old man suspected of multiple sabotage attacks against Germany's power supply. The man, whose vehicle was found in a forest, was not in the car when it was stormed and is now believed to be on foot. Authorities found explosives, including Kaliumnitrat and Kaliumperchlorat, at the man's home in Gevelsberg and in his vehicle.

The suspect's manifesto, which was authentic, was also found, and Federal Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt said it was likely a case of "climate terrorism" carried out by a lone perpetrator.
