After an arson attack in Berlin-Marzahn ten days ago, a letter of responsibility emerged. The Berlin public prosecutor's office has received the letter from a previously unknown group, as an authority spokesman said upon request. It will be taken into account in the ongoing investigation into the fire on October 5th under a bridge on Boxberger Strasse. RBB and “Tagesspiegel” had previously reported.
In the letter, a group called the “Children of Wrath” claimed responsibility for the attack and explained that they had deliberately interrupted the power supply to several technology companies. Some of the companies manufactured so-called dual-use products that could be used for both civil and military purposes, it said.
19 companies and commercial establishments had to be temporarily supplied with emergency power. The state security agency of the State Criminal Police Office (LKA), which is responsible for politically motivated acts by extremists, has taken over the investigation.
In the past there have been several left-wing extremist attacks on power lines in Berlin. These sometimes led to large power outages.
