The Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) warns armaments companies and suppliers of protests and damage to property by the left-wing extremist scene, and sabotage actions or arson attacks are also possible.
The background is an entry on the scene platform Indymedia.
It calls for attacking "arms industry profiteers."
Times of war are "great times" for the "weapons manufacturers and their cooperation partners", which is why it is appropriate to "damage the companies by all means".
In addition to large corporations such as Rheinmetall, the militant opponents of the war are also targeting numerous small and medium-sized companies that are said to be working with the armaments corporations.
At the beginning of April there was an attack on Rheinmetall offices in Bremen, in which butyric acid was allegedly used.
According to the police, five employees were injured, they complained of being unwell, and having a sore throat and headache.
The "Soko left-wing extremism" of the state security determined.
On the Internet, unknown persons claimed responsibility for the attack with the foul-smelling substance under the slogan "militarism stinks" and called for "sabotage of the military and armaments industry".
The Bremen police consider the letter to be authentic.
The BKA has now informed the companies in the industry about the possible dangers and sent them an assessment of the situation.
