Bomb attack on Dortmund team bus
[Telegraph] Borussia Dortmund's team bus was hit by three explosions while on its way to the Champions League semi-final against Monaco on Tuesday evening, leaving one player injured in hospital.
German security sources said it was a targeted attack on the team bus, leaving the vehicle's windows shattered. Police said "serious explosive devices" were used.
A German prosecutor said a letter found near the site of the attack "takes responsibility for the act".
