German police now say that the bombs found in trains in Germany last month were primed to go off.
In other words, it looks a lot like the London and (especially) Madrid bombings. There is a difference and that is that the bombs weren't set to go off at a station, but instead 10 minutes before arrival in Dortmund and Koblenz.
German police have published images of (some of) the suspects. They're especially looking for:

The German newspaper the Deutsche Welle has an image up up the two suspects:
The person who provides the police with information that will lead to the arrest of the suspects will be rewarded with 50 000 euros ($64,195).
There is, logically, a debate going on in Germany right now about whether or not they should increase video surveillance in railway stations and in trains. This seems to, sadly, be a necessary step.

German Government Publishes Images Of Suspects
German police now say that the bombs found in trains in Germany last month were primed to go off.
"We're accusing as yet unknown suspects of having tried to ignite unconventional flammable and explosive devices on July 31, 2006, in the cities of Dortmund and Koblenz with the aim of killing a high number of people," Federal Prosecutor Rainer Griesbaum said at a press conference in Wiesbaden, Germany, today. The perpetrators are suspected of being members of a "domestic terrorist organization," Griesbaum said.
A suitcase found abandoned on a regional train from Aachen to Hamm in western Germany was turned in by the train's conductor in Dortmund. It contained a propane gas bottle, three bottles filled with gasoline and a detonating device, the Federal Prosecutor's Office said Aug. 1. On the same day another piece of luggage was found on another regional train from Moenchengladbach to Koblenz about 75 miles to the South. It too contained a propane gas bottle.
"We have to take this event very seriously," Interior Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said in a faxed statement today. "We have to expect that the danger of a repeat attempt still exists."
In other words, it looks a lot like the London and (especially) Madrid bombings. There is a difference and that is that the bombs weren't set to go off at a station, but instead 10 minutes before arrival in Dortmund and Koblenz.
German police have published images of (some of) the suspects. They're especially looking for:
two males, who transported the two suitcases at Cologne train station.
Bloomberg explains that Germany isn't exactly free from terrorists:
Germany is clamping down on Islamic extremists after discovering that three pilots involved in the Sept. 11 terror attacks -- Mohamed Atta, Marwan Al-Shehhi and Ziad Samir Jarrah - - had lived in the northern port city of Hamburg.
Other members of the Hamburg terror group included Ramzi Binalshibh and Said Bahaji. While Binalshibh has been held by the U.S. at an undisclosed location since his arrest in Pakistan in September 2002, Bahaji, a suspected organizer of the terrorist attacks, is still at large. Bahaji disappeared from Germany just prior to Sept. 11, 2001, and is suspected to be in Pakistan.
The German newspaper the Deutsche Welle has an image up up the two suspects:
The person who provides the police with information that will lead to the arrest of the suspects will be rewarded with 50 000 euros ($64,195).
