Stromversorgung: SEK stürmt Fahrzeug des Sabotage-Verdächtigen
Sabotageversuche gegen das deutsche Stromnetz sorgen für Aufsehen, es gibt Bekennerschreiben. Das Fahrzeug des Verfassers hat die Polizei gefunden - doch er selbst ist flüchtig.
The state police stormed the vehicle of a man suspected of multiple sabotage attacks on Germany's power supply, according to NRW Interior Minister Herbert Reul. The operation took place in Niederzier near Düren, North Rhine-Westphalia. The suspect is believed to be on foot and not far away. Earlier, the newspaper "Bild" reported on the police action.
The suspect's car was found standing in a forest, said Markus Gemünd, head of the State Protection Department in the North Rhine-Westphalia Interior Ministry. A special task force stormed the vehicle, but the man was not inside. The vehicle is now being searched for clues. Earlier, Reul had stated that explosives were found in the 48-year-old suspect's apartment in Gevelsberg.
Later, it was clarified that the substances were potassium nitrate and potassium chlorate. Reul stated that there is no further evidence suggesting the suspect is especially dangerous. His confession letter is authentic. According to Federal Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt (CSU), it is very likely that this is a lone perpetrator and that it is "climate terrorism".
