Football bus bombed:

-

German police say that it remains unclear who carried out the bomb attack on a bus carrying the Borussia Dortmund football team to a Champions League home match against Monaco last week, and that they are investigat­ing “in all directions”. Three bombs hidden beside the road exploded near the bus, shattering the windows and injuring Spanish centre-back Marc Bartra. Letters found at the scene suggested the involvemen­t of radical Islamists. But police experts have cast “significan­t doubts” over the letters’ authentici­ty, and since then, both far-right and anti-fascist groups have claimed responsibi­lity for the attack. The team’s management had recently tried to distance itself from groups of far-right fans.
