Germany investigates possible unauthorized entry and sabotage at a military barracks

BERLIN (AP) — German authorities say they are looking into suspicions of unauthorized entry and possible tampering with the water supply at a major air force barracks in the west of the country. The Defense Ministry said Wednesday there were suspicions of attempted or actual illegal entry, as well as sabotage, at the Wahn barracks outside Cologne. The military said a hole was found overnight in the fence of the facility in an area near its waterworks, and officials couldn’t rule out contamination. The barracks was sealed off for several hours in case a perpetrator or perpetrators were on the grounds, but none was found and the gates were reopened Wednesday lunchtime.
