German Police Probe ‘Political Motive’ In Railway Fires

The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on DW.com.

This is the sub-heading.

A series of fires hit rail infrastructure on the main line between Hamburg and Berlin overnight, leading to widespread train disruptions. Police say they suspect a politically motivated act of sabotage.

This is the first two paragraphs.

German police are investigating a suspected political motive behind an alleged act of sabotage targeting a major train route connecting the port city of Hamburg to the capital, Berlin.

Fire broke out overnight at three locations in the northern Hamburg region, affecting shafts holding railway cables.

This paragraph describes a claim for responsibility.

An anonymous letter published on the far-left website Indymedia claimed responsibility for the incident, describing it as an act of “sabotage.” The letter said it was a protest against “neo-colonial exploitation and earth destroying extraction of raw materials.”

I don’t think we want anything like this in the UK.
