The German police analyze the political motive of cutting cables that blocked rail transport near Leverkusen.
The German police are working with an alternative that the cutting of cables on the railway connection between Cologne and Düsseldorf could have had a political motive. The cables were cut by unknown perpetrators at night on Monday near Leverkusen. According to AFP, TASR writes about it.
- Unknown perpetrators cut cables on the railway track.
- The incident influenced transport between Cologne and Düsseldorf.
- Police are considering a politically motivated intention of the act.
The incident has significantly disrupted transport in the region and, according to the police, it cannot be ruled out at present that the act has been politically motivated. The situation is dealt with by a specialized police unit that has already identified preliminary traces.
Sabotage in Germany
In this context, AFP recalls that Germany has been affected by several incidents that police are investigating as cases of sabotage in the past period.
Tens of thousands of people in Berlin remained without electricity this month after someone intentionally ignited the cables. In this case, the police are investigating one of the anarchist groups. In August, the extreme left -wing group founded a fire on one of the railway lines.
