Borussia Dortmund

Team bus hit by an explosion. Breaking news. :sad:

 

[mattitouk]

Apparently Marc Bartra has been injured in the blast and has been taken to hospital.

 

[Supernaut]

****ing hell.

 

[MK Shrimper]

Apparantly a bomb was put in front of the bus rather than on it. Crazy ****ing world.

 

[mattitouk]

Sky Germany are reporting that there were 3 explosions & that the blasts took place at the team hotel, (I presume when the players were about to board the coach to head for the stadium).

 

[mattitouk]

Tonight's match has now been cancelled, and will now be replayed tomorrow night instead.

 

[MK Shrimper]

Fortunately just superficial cuts to Bartra's arm.

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

Awful times we live in. Game rightly called off. Some things a lot more important than footy

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Means they'll have to show the Juventus/Barça game here in France.

For once in your life would it kill you to not make things about you!

What's actually happened? Has anyone claimed it? The reports I've read seem pretty brief. Glad that no one was seriously injured!

The reports are brief because the police don't know what's happened yet, they think the team were the targets but they don't know what the motive was. They've got a letter from someone claiming responsibility and are trying to establish if it's real.

What a weapons-grade *********** you are.

 

[AndyT]

I'm I the only one surprised they've re-scheduled the match for tonight?

Don't think the police have confirmed it but the story has taken a bizarre turn. A man has been arrested for the attack. It's being alleged in German media that he was trying to kill Dortmund players in order to crash their share price, in the hopes that he could short sell 15000 shares in the club for a large profit.

I knew that a right wing group had claimed responsibility but the implication was that could just be chancers out for notoriety from someone else's deed, but if this 'greed not terrorism' motivation turns out to be true....madness
