Attacks on energy supply: Attacks on power grid: Police arrest suspect
For days, the police had been searching for a man who was suspected of sabotaging the power grid in Germany. When he was arrested, it became clear that he had additional explosives on him.
A 48-year-old man has been arrested in connection with a series of sabotage attacks on the power grid in several German states, including Nordrhein-Westfalen, Brandenburg, and Sachsen. The suspect, from Gevelsberg in the southern Ruhr region, is believed to have carried out multiple attacks on power lines near coal-fired power plants, causing short circuits and disrupting the operation of several power plant blocks.
He was found to be in possession of explosive materials and a tent with additional explosives was discovered nearby. The motive behind the attacks appears to be a desire to combat the use of fossil fuels, with the suspect stating in a letter that "power generation from fossil fuels is a crime".
