Last summer, two suitcase bombs were planted on commuter trains in several German towns but they failed to explode.
Just read This on BBC piece about the arrests in Germany.QuoteLast summer, two suitcase bombs were planted on commuter trains in several German towns but they failed to explode. Two bombs in several towns?
It's the decline of the Beeb again. I heard a woman pronounce Sibelius as Cyber lee us yesterday
Perhaps there were two bombs on two trains but the trains were moving and passed through several towns?

Last summer, two identical suitcase bombs were planted on two commuter trains in the German cities of Dortmund and Koblenz but they failed to explode.
