AI-generated summary
On August 4, an airport employee discovered a drone loaded with explosives near Ukrainian cargo planes on the ground at Leipzig Airport. The Federal Prosecutor's Office took over the investigation because of its special significance. There is suspicion of attempting to cause an explosive explosion and dangerous interference with air traffic.
In order to track down the perpetrator or perpetrators, the German authorities are using unusual methods: After the attempted drone attack in Leipzig, the investigators are using AI posters and leaflets to search for a previously unidentified suspected suspect.
The Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) and the Federal Prosecutor's Office published an AI-generated image of a person on an e-bike on Friday. He or she is said to have been traveling near the airport between July 31 and August 4, and the BKA asked for information.
It stated that two suspects had been identified so far. The investigators in Wiesbaden and Karlsruhe did not want to provide further information when asked. According to the investigation, the unknown third party “could also be linked to the drone attack.”
The picture showed a slim person in long-sleeved black clothing with a hood, a cap pulled over his face, a jacket, gloves and a large backpack on a black e-bike. The investigators explained that he or she was dressed unusually warmly for midsummer. Posters with the image were hung around the airport and flyers were distributed.
According to the information, the investigators located a suspected drone launch site on the connecting route between the towns of Rabutz and Beuditz. “Other suspected means of crime were also found” near the industrial area between Radefeld and Lützschena. According to the investigation, the unknown person was riding his bike in the area around these places.
Airport employee discovered drone
The explosives-laden drone was discovered by an airport employee on the ground near Ukrainian cargo planes late in the evening of August 4th. The airport is a transshipment point for military aid deliveries to Ukraine.
At the beginning of September, the federal government blamed Russia for the attempted bomb attack, but Moscow rejects the allegations. The Federal Prosecutor's Office took over the investigation shortly after the incident because of its special significance. As she announced in August, there is suspicion of attempting to cause an explosive explosion and dangerous interference with air traffic.
