Explosive replacement breakdown in Berlin: Perpetrators blow up themselves!

Explosive replacement breakdown in Berlin: Perpetrators blow up themselves!

with a bang that shook the people in Berlin to the mark, the hunt for a stranger who caused a headache with the authorities for weeks. For weeks, the Berlin police searched intensively for a man who had left a mysterious bag at the Neukölln S-Bahn station. In this pocket, the officers found a kilog -dangerous package that was peppered with highly explosive triaceetontriperoxide (TATP). This stuff, like to be referred to as the "mother of the devil", lets even sober investigators sweat.

As the Berliner Zeitung , the Federal Police wanted to check the suspect on October 30th. But he took his legs in his hand and left his bag with an explosive device. The officials showed heroism by carefully transporting the explosive freight into the Thomashöhe Park and safely blewing there. Nevertheless, the unknown Berlin kept in suspense - until his life took a tragic turn.

an unwanted final

The man sought, a 34-year-old Pole, had apparently lived in the head with a devilish plan. His idea: With the notorious explosive Tatp, he wanted to chase ATMs into the air. But fate had its own plans with him: on the night of November 24th, hell exploded hell on earth while handicrafts in a Lower Saxony apartment. The entire property opened in flames, and firefighters found a body burned up to recognition. The clear DNA identification is still pending, but all the indications indicate that the accident bearer himself went into the air.

a dangerous game with the fire

The incident again shows that the explosions of ATMs in Berlin have increased dramatically. Out of four cases in 2020, the number exploded to 24 last year and is currently in 39 cases. The gangs that do not shy away from anything and in which the residents float in serious danger are always brazen.

Berlin's Senator Iris Spranger sees an urgent need for action. In an urgent indictment against the banks, she demands mandatory security measures. In particular, reinforced housings and color cartridges that make banknotes unusable should help to make such attacks be difficult or even prevented.

So far, this has only happened on a voluntary basis, so that a number of banks continue to neglect their security measures. [Berliner Zeitung] (https://www.berliner-zeitung.de/mensch-metropole/der-bomben-mann-vom-bahn- Neukoelln-er-sich-sich-in-die-li.2278928) reported that the police continue to search for a suspected complicity-a Moldawier that is still on the free foot. This brings additional explosive into an already explosive location.

The case throws a dark light on the security situation in Berlin. The city must remain vigilant in order not only to minimize the economic damage, but also the risk of the life and life of its citizens. It remains to be seen whether the shock wave will finally lead to a rethink with banks and politics.
