After a possible discovery of explosives in Magdeburg, the police have given the
all-clear. As the local police informed MDR, the alleged explosive device poses
no danger. According to the police, there will be no further investigations or
criminal charges. According to MDR information, the dummy explosive was a
geocache. According to police information, tradespeople discovered a suspicious
object in the empty prefabricated building of the former SED party school. It
was a type of ammunition box that apparently contained two gas containers and
various wires. The geocache must have been lying dormant in the underworld for
many years. The last entry is from 2013. After the discovery, the area around
the former SED party school was closed for several hours. The blocking radius
was around 200 meters.
