On 19 January 2001, the daughter of an Iranian shop owner in the Probsteigasse in Cologne opened a cake tin which had been left in the shop roughly a month earlier. The tin contained a bomb which was built to detonate when the tin was opened. The young woman, 19 years old at the time, was severely injured.<\/p>\n
Today the Court started hearing evidence regarding the attack. A police officer described the crime scene \u2013 the shop had been entirely destroyed, there had been a risk of fatal injury for anyone within 7 meters of the explosion. Obviously the bomb had been built to kill. Another officer described the way the bomb, containing a gas bottle filled with gun powder, was built to explode on opening.<\/p>\n
The former head investigator stated that (once again) the police had had no idea regarding a motive. The aimlessness of their investigation was summarized in the following statement: \u201cThe owner was a foreigner, so this could have come from the right, it could also have come from the left, he was Iranian, it could also have come from that side.\u201d<\/p>\n
Witnesses in the following days include the young woman who was injured, her family as well as further police officers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
