German Man, 48, Rigged 12 Bombs Against Power Grid In Saxony
Police defused eight devices near Bärwalde substation and four near Graustein substation Friday, causing no damage or blackout.
- LKA Sachsen specialists secured all 12 devices near Bärwalde and Graustein substations Friday.
- Suspect is a 48-year-old German man registered in Gevelsberg, North Rhine-Westphalia.
- He left a letter opposing fossil-fuel power; Dresden's extremism unit ZESA leads the case.
Why it matters: Confessing by letter does not make it activism; a bomb built for a substation is a bomb.
