RAIL SABOTAGE SPREE… GERMANY UNDER SIEGE

Germany’s rail system is under siege as sabotage cases surge, with Deutsche Bahn hit by roughly 2,200 attacks in just six months and investigators increasingly pointing to far-left extremists. Arson, vandalism and theft are ripping into critical infrastructure, jamming schedules and driving up repair costs for taxpayers. The latest blast of disruption came in Lower Saxony, where two fires near railway signalling systems triggered about 200 cancelled services, while police say the evidence so far points to deliberate sabotage meant to cripple the network.
