> German police say they arrested a 48-year-old man suspected of a series of attacks on the country’s electricity network. Investigators allege he used homemade rockets and conductive wire against high-voltage lines in three states, apparently as part of a campaign against fossil fuels; he was reportedly found near the Weisweiler power station after days of searches.
