Dortmund-Monaco: an explosion touches the Dortmund bus

A police officer was also wounded, and Islamic link possible-

Borussia Dortmund attack: Police investigate Islamist link

German police are investigating a possible Islamic extremist link to the bombing of the Borussia Dortmund football team's bus, German media say.

A letter found near the scene cites the Berlin Christmas market attack and military operations in Syria. It is not yet clear if the letter is genuine.

Meanwhile German federal prosecutors, who usually lead terror investigations, are taking over the probe. ..

...Player Marc Bartra underwent an operation after breaking a bone in his wrist. No other players were hurt, but a police officer on a motorbike escorting the bus was also wounded.

From the bilt and welt

As the federal prosecutor reported, the apartments were searched by two suspects from the Islamic spectrum. One person was arrested. The spokeswoman of the Federal Prosecutor, Frauke Köhler, spoke of a terrorist background of the act and possible Islamic references.
 
Yeah, who could have guessed. Not.

The bombs were filled with metal shrapnel that traveled up to 100 meters from their detonation point and they think were remotely detonated as the bus passed by. They were so lucky only 2 people were injured.

Who would do such a thing? (sarcasm alert)

Marc Bartra is one of the most beautiful people in the world. Islam is a cancer that targets the most beautiful innocents! hope Dortmund win the Champions League to exact revenge!

Bonsoir, the content of the letter.

Letter threatens sporting figures, celebrities

One of two claims of responsibility for the attack -- found in three copies of the same letter left at the scene -- purports to be from an ISIS sympathizer, according to a copy of the document obtained by CNN from a source knowledgeable about the investigation.

The single-page letter, typed in German, calls on Germany to pull its Tornado jets from missions over Syria, calls for the closure of the US Air Force's Ramstein air base in Germany and refers to the "blessed brothers" behind the December 2016 Berlin truck attack.
German Tornado jets have been carrying out surveillance over Syria since January 2016, regularly taking photos of potential targets for anti-ISIS coalition airstrikes.
The letter also says that famous sporting figures, actors, singers, and celebrities in Germany and "other Crusader nations" are, from now on, on the "death list of the Islamic State" unless these requirements are fulfilled.
The letter appears to have been written by a non-native German speaker or someone trying to pass themselves off as a non-native German speaker.
A second claim of responsibility, apparently from the far-left, has been circulating online, the prosecutor's office said, but there are doubts about it.

We shall wait and see. They say he may have had motive. According to German news, they are still investigating.


In total, several hundred officials of the Federal Criminal Police Office as well as the North Rhine-Westphalian and Baden-Württemberg police are involved in the investigation. The investigations are ongoing...

...If the accusations confirm, this would be a particularly repugnant act motif."

It is also interesting they do not identify this suspect by name.

Only time will tell. Wonder what happened to the others that were arrested?
