LEFT party leaders say they suspect fascist extremists are behind the bombing of a Die Linke party headquarters in Oberhausen on Tuesday.
Huge damage was done to the offices in the city in Germany’s western Ruhr region, though the overnight bombing caused no casualties. Police found remains of an improvised explosive device but no message.
Die Linke Oberhausen party leader Yusuf Karacelik told the Morning Star’s German sister paper Junge Welt that he believed “right-wing terror” was behind the attack because “in the last few weeks and months, we have received a great many threatening letters from right-wing extremists and neonazi stickers have repeatedly been stuck on our windows.”
