Dresden ( Germany): Bomb attacks hit a mosque and an internatio­nal convention centre in the eastern German city of Dresden, the police said on Tuesday, adding that they suspected a xenophobic and nationalis­t motive. No one was injured in the blasts late on Monday in a city that has become a hotspot for farright protests and hate crimes following Germany's huge migrant influx. “We assume a xenophobic motive,” said Dresden police chief Horst Kretzschma­r. “We also suspect a connection with celebratio­ns next weekend for the Day of German Unity" on October 3.
