A week later, still no clear lead on whodunnit.

Just watched the "Heute" news on the second German (national public) TV channel, ZDF. Investigators recreated the crime with a stand-in bus at the original scene and found that the football team was lucky - had the three bombs been exploded one second earlier and aimed a tad lower, there would have been a lot more damage, injuries, and possibly death.

In the meantime, a third written claim of responsibility has surfaced - this time pretending to come from some neonazi background. Investigators doubt the veracity of all three testimonials and consider an Islamist background more and more improbable: The letter found at the scene is just wrong in style, adornment, goals. Anything seems possible at this point: Some extreme ultra "fan" group (either BVB's own crazy ultras, or from sonme rival team); the international betting mafia; ...

Borussia Dortmund lost the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinal against AS Monaco at home 2:3, less than 24 hours after they suffered the bomb attack. The second leg will be played tonight at Monaco.
