stitutions and companies which are involved in the planning and
realization of the world exhibition or support the project in other
ways, e.g. as so-called world partners or product partners.
During the night from 17 to 18 June, unidentified offenders -
obviously as part of a co-ordinated action - threw paving-stones
and smashed shop windows of two branches of the Hanover
Stadtsparkasse [municipal savings bank] (world partner of EXPO
2000); the damage caused amounted to some 15,000 DM. The
slogans "EXPO ATTACK" and "ATTACK EXPO!" were sprayed
on the entrance doors.
In the period from 9 to 12 July, unidentified intruders destroyed
window panes and headlights of six construction vehicles on the
fair compounds of "EXPO Park-Süd" which are secured with
chain-link fencing. The damage caused amounted to about
18,000 DM.
During the night from 13 to 14 September, unidentified persons
intruded into the construction site for a multi-purpose hall of
Volkswagen AG (world partner of EXPO 2000) in Braunschweig
[Brunswick] and damaged two construction vehicles with concrete
foam. At the site they left a flier with the slogan "attack on EXPO
& VW hall" and the agitatorial statement:
"We will step up our attacks & call upon all like-minded people
to resolutely attack the EXPO and similar targets!! For militant
resistance!!"
Also in Braunschweig, and based on the same rationale, bank
buildings were attacked with butyric acid on 19 September.
