German Prosecutors Say Borussia Dortmund Bus Attack Had No Terrorist Motive

German federal prosecutors said that they are "handing off the investigation" of last month's attack on the Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund team bus after "determining that there was no terrorist motive," according to the AP. Federal investigators said on Tuesday that Dortmund prosecutors are "taking over the probe" of the April 11 attack on the team's bus. A 28-year-old German-Russian man was "arrested April 21." Prosecutors said that he "took out a five-figure loan to bet" Borussia Dortmund shares would drop, then bombed the bus in an attack he "tried to disguise" as Islamic terrorism. Federal prosecutors said the attack apparently was committed "solely because of financial interests" so the case cannot be considered "a crime against the state of particular significance," which would make it their responsibility (AP, 5/16).
