Leipzig (dpa / sn) - The fire of several Bundeswehr vehicles on New Year's Eve in Leipzig was probably a targeted attack.
According to the State Office of Criminal Investigation (LKA) on Friday, there is a letter of confession that provides information on possible political motivation.
It is published on the Internet platform “de.Indymedia”, which the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution had classified as a suspected case in the area of left-wing extremism since July.
The «Violence Task Force» of the Police Terrorism and Extremism Defense Center (PTAZ) took over the investigation into arson that night.
According to the LKA, it depends on the help of the population for clarification.
According to the LKA, unknown persons had set fire to eleven off-road vehicles and a trailer of the Bundeswehr on the premises of a car dealership, which were to be repaired in the local workshop.
How the fire was started is still unclear.
Seven vehicles were destroyed.
No specific information is currently available on the amount of property damage, it said.
The PTAZ is now looking for witnesses who saw suspicious people and vehicles near the crime scene between 9:30 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. or observed other things that could be related to the case.
Perceptions on the internet or in social media are also of interest, according to the LKA.
