German prosecutors are investigating a failed attack on a substation near Düsseldorf, in the west of the country, days after a similar incident triggered a power blackout in Berlin.
Police started a probe after a letter accepting responsibility from the radical left-wing group known as Kommando Angry Birds was published on the Indymedia platform on Jan. 5, Attorney General Wolf-Tilman Baumert said.
It remains unclear when the attack took place, he said. Investigators said an incendiary device was deployed, but declined to give details.
Germany is on alert after Berlin suffered its longest power outage in decades, caused by an arson attack on a cable bridge, also claimed by a left-wing extremist group. Electricity was fully restored on Wednesday.
A bit much "radical left wing" terrorism, that doesn't make much sense from a left view, in the last days
Smells much more like sabotage to move the country even more to the right
personally I guess it's Russia in the background, but because every newspaper just says that a left wing group took responsibility, this is the message that will be stuck in people's heads
Seems it's escalating from cyber attacks and offshore communication cable sabotage to a real hybrid warfare inside countries
