Police Release Man Held in Bombing

As a wave of neo-Nazi activity continued, police freed a former German soldier questioned in a bomb attack that injured immigrants. The 34-year-old man owns a military shop near the commuter train station in Duesseldorf where a World War II hand grenade was detonated last week, injuring 10 immigrants from the former Soviet Union, six of them Jewish. “It turned out not to be a hot lead,” state prosecutor Johannes Mocken said. Although the suspect had a police record, he had not been linked to the right-wing scene, Mocken said. Police refused to speculate about the motive for the attack. But the fact that all the victims were foreigners has raised fears that it was carried out by far-right extremists.
