Explosions hit German city as police probe organised crime links

A string of explosions has shaken Frankfurt and neighbouring Offenbach, prompting German police to investigate whether the attacks are connected to organised criminal networks.

Two improvised explosive devices detonated minutes apart early Thursday, damaging a café and a shisha bar on Frankfurt’s busy Zeil shopping street, with the second explosion also affecting a nearby bar and bank office. Police arrested a 17-year-old Dutch national, while a 15-year-old Dutch teenager had earlier been detained following one of three similar blasts targeting businesses between Sunday and Monday.

No injuries have been reported, but Hessian authorities say they are examining a double-digit number of comparable incidents, including possible cases of “violence as a service,” where criminal groups recruit others — sometimes minors through social media — to carry out attacks.



The incidents come as German authorities report increasing concern about organised crime, with almost 700 investigations involving nearly 8,000 suspects launched last year, the highest number in five years.

    • ‘Dutch’, but originally from what other country?
      Israel? North Africa?
      Minor children doing evil adult ops so an adult wont’ get charged with the full force of the law, similar to NZ where Gangsta Wannabees do the dirty work of the adults..!
      This could also be an extreme op to try & discredit AfD, with the Government / PTB trying to put the blame on AfD and their supporters!
      Dutch…where the Dutch called out the Israelis and their violence on Dutch soil after a football match…
      Dutch…as per the article below;
      https://sfg.media/en/a/germany-trial-stefan-wijkamp-hitler-praise/
      AfD will go on to win all of Germany in due course, as this is the only political party that will identify and stop the problems that Germany is now facing!
      And they won’t need bombs to do it either!
      The PTB / Zionist German Government’s attempt to frame the AfD is absolutely apparent.
