And waiting for the volcano to blow more than fifty thousand people are living in limbo in bali agong has called dell in recent days but is it safe to go back home. Im sorry and welcome to the show its good to have you with us. Investigators say the suspicious package found at a pharmacy in the german city of pasta on friday was not about terrorism but blackmail investigators say whoever sent this package was demanding money from d. H. L. A german delivery company. A hissing sound then nothing but it was a close call in pots time on friday when employees at a pharmacy opened a package found in their store the device inside was much more dangerous than investigators originally thought. It apparently the blackmailer or the blackmailers didnt mind risking injuries or even death of those who received the packages. Didnt. The target the Delivery Firm d. H. L. Included in the package was a black mail letter imbedded as a q. R. Code. For whoever sent the package demanded a large sum of money if you didnt get paid he said he would send more packages in. A similar package was found in early november in another city and brandenburg investigators believe the suspect may make good on his threat to deliver more dangerous parcels. Well for more on this ive got do kate brady in the studio with me kate its not terrorism but it sounds like theres still a threat well there certainly is still a threat as police in front of said today this is clearly someone whos willing to put peoples lives in danger with these packages and police now fear that theres going to be more of these packages been sent and interestingly enough as well in that package that was delivered to that pharmacy in potsdam on friday the perpetrator also made reference to a second package which was delivered at the beginning of november and in that case the black male lesser actually disappeared as the package went up in flames when that was opened and so now police are looking into the links between those two packages what do we know about whos sending these packages well police have managed to trace the package back to brandenberg so far the state of brandenburg and of course potsdam where this package was delivered on friday is the capital of that state but beyond that its very sketchy information at the moment and so theyll also be having a look to see whether the package as well which you mentioned from november where that was actually from as well authorities are stressing this was not an attempted terror attack but in fact a common crime why is this distinction so important well germany is still on high alert at the moment especially since the terror attack here in berlin last year thats just coming up to a year ago now and so really they dont want to cause any unnecessary. A lot and of course also local authorities at the state authorities in britain of the very wary of using the word terror as well as weve seen before in other cases in germany people are very reluctant to mention that would obviously if something bad has happened on that in the dockyard and they are worried sometimes that the finger is going to be pointed at them and that theyve not perhaps been doing their job correctly ok so not a case of terrorism people can still go out to the Christmas Markets and have a great time.
