Power grid sabotage: Search for suspect underway – vehicle found
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 carrying out sabotage attacks on 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 lorry was found in a forest in Niederzier.
Two letters claiming responsibility for the attacks were sent to media outlets, with one stating that generating electricity from fossil fuels is a "crime" and suggesting the attacks are an act of "climate terrorism". The incidents have prompted concerns about the security of critical infrastructure, with calls for better protection and more powers for companies to monitor their surroundings.
