Hunt for power-grid attacks: police issue photographs
Google News LU DE reports that German police are searching with wanted photographs for an alleged saboteur of electricity infrastructure. The suspect is connected to several attacks on substations and electricity lines.
During a search, a total of twelve explosive devices were discovered on electricity lines. Investigators suspect a connection between findings in North Rhine-Westphalia and Brandenburg.
Police released wanted photographs of the alleged perpetrator, against whom the accusation of so-called "climate terrorism" is under consideration. A new lead points to Saxony, where the suspect remains at large, according to MDR.de.
Experts analysed the technical background of the attacks: the sabotage acts were carried out by wire rather than with explosives, which raises questions about the redundancy of the power grid. Attacks of this type could expose the limits of network redundancy, according to specialists quoted by heise online.
Investigations are proceeding at full pace. The public is asked to report immediately to police any suspicious persons matching the published wanted photographs.
