[DailyMail] German police have admitted they have no evidence linking the sole suspect in the Borussia Dortmund football team bus bombing with the attack - but believe he was an ISIS commander while in his home country of Iraq.A 26-year-old Iraqi, identified only as Abdul Baset al-O, was placed in durance vile
Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw!
yesterday in connection with the attack.
Chilling 'confession' letters found close to the scene of Tuesday's bombing, which injured Spanish international Marc Bartra, blamed German involvement in Syria - but made no mention of support for ISIS.
Now prosecutors have cast doubt over whether the suspect was responsible, meaning the real terrorist could still be on the lam.
However,
a hangover is the wrath of grapes...
they have detained him over allegations he led a terror cell of 10 fighters in Iraq, which aimed to 'prepare kidnappings, abductions, extortion and killings'. A German judge on Thursday approved an arrest warrant against him, the Federal Prosecutor's Office said in a statement.
The letters warned Angela Merkel
...current chancellor of Germany and the impetus behind Germany's remarkably ill-starred immigration program. Merkel used to be referred to by Germans as
Mom...
to withdraw troops from Syria, it has emerged. Three 15 line 'confessions', written in German, were found near the scene, addressed the German Chancellor, with one stating: 'Your Tornadoes are still flying over the land of the Caliphate to murder Moslems.'
ISIS operatives do not usually claim responsibility in this way, and the terror group was not referenced in the letters.
Prosecutors said today that the arrested man crossed the border from Iraq into
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
in March 2015 and continued on in early 2016 to Germany 'where the suspect maintained contact with Isis members'.
It is the first time such confession letters have been left. Terror expert Peter Neumann, from King's College, London, told Bild: 'Three identical confessions were found at the scene of the crime. This has never happened before in Islamist attacks.'
Abdul Baset al-O was seized in the city of Wuppertal. Media reports said he had been on the radar of police and intelligence agencies for some time after intercepted telephone calls alerted authorities to his Jihadist leanings. It was suspected he had explosives or bomb parts in his apartment but nothing was found.
A second suspect is a 28-year-old German with Lebanese roots, named as Abdullah al-Z, who comes from the town of Fröndenberg.
His home was searched after a domestic spat involving his parents resulted in police being called. Once there they discovered an umbrella from the hotel where the Borussia Dortmund team had been quartered before the kaboom. But he was questioned and released and it is unclear what further role he may play in the investigation.
Puzzling to authorities is the technical know how that was required to build the three sophisticated pipe bombs used in the attack that spewed shrapnel over a 300 feet radius. The attacker or attackers knew how to detonate the devices at the exact time the bus was passing - and placed them out of view of the hotel's CCTV cameras. Experts said they could have been detonated with a phone or an electric garage door opener.

Dortmund's Bartra faces month out after bus bomb attack
[AlAhram] Borussia Dortmund's Spanish international defender Marc Bartra will be out for around four weeks after injuring his wrist in Tuesday's kaboom on the team's bus, coach Thomas Tuchel said.
"Marc would prefer to play again on Saturday, but he will need around four weeks," said Tuchel, whose side entertain Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga on Saturday.
Bartra, 26, underwent emergency surgery for a broken radius bone and to remove glass that became planted in his arm after the blasts shattered windows on the team's bus.
On Wednesday he said on Twitter that he was "doing much better" but he played no part in Dortmund's 3-2 defeat at home to Monaco in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final.
