Islamists demand closure of US Airbase in Ramstein, according to the letter found at the blast site.
The probe into Tuesday’s triple bomb blasts in the city of Dortmund has led the German police to the refugee circles. Investigators detained a known Islamist holding a German passport and an asylum seeker from Iraq on suspicions of carrying out coordinated bomb attacks on the Borussia Dortmund soccer team bus, injuring one player.
Three explosive devices went off near the soccer team’s bus as it left the hotel for to the Champions League quarterfinals against AS Monaco. German authorities are treating the incident as a terrorist attack.
German Police recovered a note near the site of explosions that began with “the name of Allah, the merciful,” German newspapers Süddeutsche Zeitung reported. The note further calls for Germany to close the Ramstein airbase that serves as the headquarters for the U.S. Air Force in Europe.
Via Germany’s Süddeutsche Zeitung:
The letters at the scene of the crime: According to information from Süddeutscher Zeitung, NDR and WDR , three text-like letters were found at the scene of the crime ( here in the wording ), beginning with the words “In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful”. One of the documents also refers to the attack on the Berlin Christmas market and claims that German tornadoes are involved in assassinating Muslims in the caliphate of the so-called Islamic state. Therefore athletes and other celebrities “in Germany and other Kreuzfahrer [Christian] nations” would be on a “death list of the Islamic state”. This applies, Until the German tornadoes had withdrawn and the American air base was closed in the Palatinate of Ramstein.
