Attempted islamist terror attack in Bonn (Germany)

[Something completely different]

Police and national security in Germany are searching for 2 suspects who attempted to blow up a bomb at a trainstation in Bonn (Germany).

The suspects are all known to be from the salafist mileu.

The bag, which contained a metal pipe filled with ammonium nitrate, four propane gas cartridges, three batteries and an alarm clock, was reported to station officials around noon Monday, and officials shut the station down. The bag was later opened with the help of a robot.

Two prior suspects who had been arrested Tuesday in the case have since been released, as police search for two different men, one of whom was seen in a surveillance video from a McDonald's restaurant at the Bonn station carrying a blue bag similar to the one found with the explosive materials. Another "dark-skinned" man was reported by witnesses to have pushed a bag like the one found almost in front of the feet of two teenagers waiting on the platform. The two men who were released had connections with the German Salafist scene and investigators initially thought the fundamentalists were behind the attack.

I like suicide bombers better, it's self explanatory.

Terrorism is soooo 2001.
