Gang war?
Another explosion in Cologne: café burnt out
There is no end to the series of explosions in the German city of Cologne. On Wednesday morning there was a detonation on the ground floor of an apartment building. A café was completely burnt out.
Residents reported a loud bang shortly before 3 a.m., according to the police. Shortly afterwards, the café was engulfed in flames and windows were shattered. The fire department was able to extinguish the fire, but the premises were already badly damaged.
According to the police, two residents of the multi-storey apartment building were slightly injured and treated on site for suspected smoke inhalation. They were subsequently released by the emergency services. No one was injured by the explosion itself.
Police suspect mafia war as background
There has been a series of explosions in Cologne in the recent past and the police are already investigating six of them. The background to these acts is believed to be disputes between gangs - including the Dutch Mocro mafia, which is apparently spreading increasingly in North Rhine-Westphalia. It is not known whether the latest explosion is connected to the series.
