Borussia Dortmund football team bus hit by explosions

Quote:

Three explosions have hit a bus carrying the Borussia Dortmund football team to their home Champions League quarter-final match against Monaco.
In a press conference, the head of Dortmund police said it was a targeted attack on the team.

Spain international Marc Bartra was taken to hospital with an injury to his hand. No other players were hurt.

The first indications were that this was an "attack with serious explosives", Dortmund police said.
:erm:

Police have said they have found a letter of responsibility and are hunting a car with a foreign licence plate. No information on the contents of the letter.

Crazy.

An "Islamist" suspect has been detained by police investigating a bomb attack on the Borussia Dortmund team bus.

Two letters left at the scene of the blasts reportedly linked it to German involvement in the fight against Islamic State in Syria.

Police have arrested a German-Russian citizen on Friday morning on suspicion of carrying out the attack on the Borussia Dortmund team bus last Tuesday, with prosecutors alleging that the bombing was motivated by financial greed...

...Police confirmed on Friday morning that a police tactical response unit had arrested a man named only as Sergej W in the Tuebingen area, 30km south of the city of Stuttgart and 450km south of Dortmund.

He has been charged with attempted murder, causing an explosion and serious bodily harm, police said.

After dismissing the Islamic extremist link, prosecutors accused the man of carrying out the attacks in order to gain financially after he bought a large number of so-called put options for shares of Borussia Dortmund, which would have entitled him to sell the 15,000 shares at a pre-determined price even if they fell dramatically in the event of an attack.

Yep its certainly clear its unwise to jump to conclusions straight away until one gets the full facts about things.

What's odd is how everyone claimed responsibility. First ISIS, then some radical left-wing group and then a far-right group. None of whom seem to have anything to do with it if this story is true.

Not really. It's entirely normal.

They want to take credit for anything, which means if anything happens, peoples' default assumption would be "Isis terrorist", thus playing their game, arousing fear and doubt...

Sadly, it seems to work.
