    Dortmund, Germany

    GERMAN investigators on Wednesday detained an Islamist suspect over three explosions rocked Borussia Dortmund's team bus, prosecutors said, confirming that the probe was examining a possible "terrorist link".

    The roadside blasts left Dortmund's Spanish international Marc Bartra and a policeman injured, with the bombs "containing metal pieces" detonating minutes after the team bus set off to a planned UEFA Champions League game against Monaco on Tuesday night.
