Terrorism hits the Rhine?
The German news service Deutsche Welle is reporting that there was a small bomb blast in Mühlheim, a neighborhood of Cologne on the right side of the river. The blast wounded seventeen people. The ministry of the interior for North Rhine-Westphalia is not yet willing to call this terrorism.The background is totally open, we can't rule anything out,
we can't rule out a terrorist background at the moment.
This bombing is going to bite the state government. It is still reeling from the disappearance of Metin Kaplan, the Caliph of Cologne, which I discussed weeks ago. Even if the blast is not directly connected to Kaplin's supporters, it will cast more light on security in the state and in Germany.
[Update:]
Other possible explanations that have surfaced. A spokesman for the interior ministry has also suggested that
it could be a conflict between rival Turks.
