Daniel V, 48, hunted throughout Europe
Germany is shaken by a series of sabotage attacks.
Now 48-year-old Daniel V is being singled out as a suspect.
A found letter reveals the "electric terrorist's" plans, according to German media.
On Friday, the German task force raided the man's house in Gevelsberg North Rhine-Westphalia, but the 48-year-old could not be found, reports Bild.
Daniel V has now been wanted throughout Europe, while the police have published several photos of him.
The last trace of him is a manifesto found on a truck between Aachen and Cologne. In it, the man writes that he has targeted fossil fuels, especially brown coal.
- As it stands now, we assess that the letters are authentic. The author cites the fight against fossil fuels as his motive, Westphalian Minister Herbert Reul told Bild.
In the letter, Daniel V also gives his full name and address.
“It is very unusual and relatively rare,” Reul said.
It is unclear whether the “electric terrorist” had planned further attacks.
“Based on the current information, we have to assume that this is climate extremism,” said Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt.
In recent days, several attacks have been directed at Germany’s electricity grid. Homemade devices with cables and timers have been placed next to high-voltage lines.
The latest alarm to the police came at 3 a.m. on Friday night, from Ganderkesee near Bremen. Just a few hours earlier, an object was discovered in Dormagen between Cologne and Düsseldorf.
However, they are not said to have been triggered.
