Germany: Manhunt After Explosives Left At Berlin Station

2024-11-01

[MSN-DW] German police are looking for a man who left a bag of explosives at Berlin's Neukölln train station. A police search is underway on Thursday in the German capital, Berlin, after a man left a bag of explosives at a Berlin train station on Wednesday evening.

A police officer told the daily Berliner Zeitung that "it seems as if an attack has been prevented," as an explosion caused by the contents of the bag would have had "dramatic consequences" if it occurred near a group of people.

The man ran away after he was subjected to a check by police officers.

The bag was reportedly destroyed at a nearby car park in a controlled explosion.

Breitbart adds:

A man fled a police stop on the Berlin mass transit rail, dropping a bag as he fled containing over 17 ounces of a terrorist-favoured home made explosive.

Bomb squad officers discovered a drinks bottle wrapped in wire containing 500g (17½ ounces) of TATP explosives, along with a further quantity of cables and a believed stolen-in-2022 Polish citizen identity card.

Oh? So he could be a jihadi or a criminal. Let’s leave the story on Page 1: War on Terror until we have more information.

TATP is highly unstable and prone to exploding if handled roughly, suggesting the suspect in this case fleeing on foot and dropping a bag containing the explosive without it setting off was a lucky escape for pursuing officers and the wider public. What was said to be an attempted terror attack by a Ukrainian krazed killer in La Belle France earlier this year was averted, apparently at the last moment, after the would-be alleged perpetrator accidentally went kaboom! in an airport hotel room, it was reported at the time.

The explosive has been used in terrorist attacks and in planned terror attacks again and again, but it is also known to be in use with robbery gangs blowing up cash machines.

Berlin’s Neukölln district has developed something of a reputation for crime. As previously reported of the neighbourhood:

well known for being both heavily migrant-settled and as being a centre of strength for German left-wing hard boys, who call themselves Antifa
...the armed wing of the Democratic Party...

Or he might be Antifa. So many exciting possibilities to ponder.
In some cases... violence in Neukölln manifests itself on strictly religious lines, and in others as cultural difference.

The area has become infamous to a certain degree recently, however, as migrant riots took place on New Year’s Eve into 2023, with widespread damage across the area. The way Germany responded to these events became a scandal itself, as broadcasters were accused of trying to cover up the violence, with the immigration background to the riots subject played down in reports.
