Power grid sabotage: manhunt for suspect continues
Following a series of attacks on transformer stations and power lines in Germany, police have deemed a confessional letter received to be authentic, as reported by Google News LU DE. According to investigators, the sabotage acts were deliberately directed at the energy supply.
A special operations unit (SEK) stormed a lorry at a lignite open-pit mine that is associated with a suspect. The suspect himself initially remained at large — the manhunt continues according to police.
The attacks target critical infrastructure and have raised the question, according to reports by several German media outlets including rbb24, Bild, Deutschlandfunk and Die Zeit, of how sabotage against the power grid can be prevented in future. Der Spiegel separately reports on possible protective measures for the energy supply.
The authorities initially made no statements regarding those behind the acts or the political motive behind the attacks. The confessional letter is continuing to be examined by forensic specialists.
