The "Mother of Satan" and the ausweis of a Polish citizen — Berlin, apparently, escaped a terrorist attack

A terrorist threat has been declared in Berlin after the federal police wanted to check the suspect in the Neukeln metropolitan area for migrants, but he escaped and lost a backpack with 1.5 kg of explosives. A mysterious identity card was also found.

Berlin police are continuing an intensive search for a man who was carrying a military explosive device with him the day before. Police officers wanted to check the man at the Neukeln high-speed railway station, after which he disappeared and left behind a backpack with explosives.

"The backpack was taken to a nearby park and detonated in a controlled manner," the police said (residents reported a powerful explosion).

According to media reports, we are talking about an explosive substance called triacetone triperoxide, known among investigators as the "Mother of Satan." This type of explosive was used, among other things, in the terrorist attack in Paris, during which Islamist terrorists killed 89 people. The substance was also found in a foiled attack at Taylor Swift's concert in Vienna.

"It seems that an attack has been prevented here. If this explosive device had gone off in the immediate vicinity of a group of people, it would have had dramatic consequences,"Bild quotes the investigator involved in this case.

The police also managed to find an identity card in the backpack (according to it. — ausweis), which was issued to a 30-year-old Polish citizen, but since January 21, 2022, it was reported that it had been stolen.
