Breaking news: metal pin from bomb found embedded in headrest of Borussia Dortmund bus seat
Borussia Dortmund defender Marc Bartra was hit by the splinter of a broken glass and had to undergo surgery yesterday night. The game was postponed and will be played this evening at 6.30 pm (CET +1). Devices were studded with metal pins and might have been hidden in a hedge, according to reports in Germany.
Police is examining possible terrorism links and one suspect has been arrested following searches of his apartment. German media claim a letter “in the name of Allah” was found at the scene. The letter claimed responsibility for the attack and referred to December’s truck attack in Berlin.
German media also claim a metal pin from bomb was found embedded in the headrest of a bus seat, which means consequences of the attack could have been much harsher.
