Photo: DPAOn Tuesday evening three explosives devices were triggered next to the Borussia Dortmund team bus as the players made their way to the stadium for a Champions League game against AS Monaco. Police believe it was a “targeted attack on the Dortmund team.”A letter has been found near the blast site taking responsibility for the attack. A policeman, who was on a motorcycle and had been escorting the team bus, suffered trauma from the noise of the blasts. The attack was against the team because of what Borussia Dortmund symbolizes, namely racism, Nazis, and right-wing populism, the author reportedly says.
