BERLIN: Police on Thursday found bottles filled with a potentially explosive mix of liquid and powder beside train tracks in southwestern Berlin on Thursday, the 16th firebomb discovered in four days.
Investigators found the bomb, which hadnt exploded, hidden in the grass next to the tracks. It was made of two bottles with yellow and brown liquids and two blue bags filled with powder.
Sixteen firebombs have been found in nine locations around the capital since Monday, forcing hundreds of trains to be delayed and frustrating thousands of passengers through partial shutdowns. One went off, damaging a track west of the city, and another ignited but did not explode. Nobody has been injured.
It was not clear when the most recent bomb was placed; authorities said that all of the devices could have been planted at the same time over the weekend.
A previously unknown communist leftist terrorist group has claimed responsibility for one of the firebombs.

According to a federal court ruling in November 2007, politically motivated arson can only be considered terrorism if it poses considerable danger to the state.
What on earth? Since when is arson not a danger to public order, and hence to the state? Somebody please explain the nuance.
