Munich Police Foil Bomb Attack by Neo-Nazis
Police in Munich have prevented a planned bomb attack by Neo-Nazis. Munich Police Vice President Jens Viering said on Wednesday officials had seized a bag with 1.7 kilograms of TNT and 12 kilograms of "suspicious explosive material" in the south of the city and arrested six suspects in Munich, Brandenburg and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. It remains unclear whether the planned attack was related to the discovery in June of an suitcase laden with explosives in the main railway station in Dresden. Among those arrested was 27-year-old far-right extremist Martin Wiese, the head of the Munich Neo-Nazi group "Comradeship South," whose friends had attempted to kill a Greek passerby on the fringes of Wieseâs birthday party in 2001. Police discovered two firearms, several knives, a balaclava, an axe and propaganda material in Wieseâs apartment.Just a reminder that not all nutbags wear turbans. And thinking about the upcoming Oktoberfest... not a nice thought about what could have happened. They have done it already on Sept. 26th 1980, when 13 people were killed, 210 wounded.
