German power grid sabotage attack linked to ‘climate extremism’
- German authorities said Friday they believe a militant climate activist was behind a spate of sabotage attacks on the power grid and are hunting for the 48-year-old suspect.
- "We must assume that this is a case of climate extremism," said Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt.
