BERLIN: German police are investigating a new suspected act of sabotage on a major railway line which disrupted traffic and has been claimed by a far-left group. On Friday morning, technicians noticed a fire in a cable duct near a station in Leverkusen, a city close to Cologne, the police said in a statement published on Saturday afternoon. The material damage led to disruptions to Deutsche Bahn (DB) traffic on this heavily used route in North Rhine-Westphalia, the most populous region in the country.
