Germany has announced an arrest in connection with the attack on the Borussia Dortmund team bus on Tuesday.

At a press conference, the German state prosecutors said they had reason to suspect terrorist links, reports DW.

Three explosive devices were detonated near Borussia Dortmund's bus yesterday as it was leaving the team hotel on the way to the Champions League quarterfinal match with French side Monaco.

The game has been postponed until Wednesday.

Spanish defender Marc Bartra was injured in the explosion and underwent surgery for injuries to his wrist and lower arm.

Officials found several notes claiming responsibility at the scene, three of them with identical text.

Authorities bolstered security around Signal Iduna Park stadium ahead of Wednesday's rescheduled match in the aftermath the Tuesday attack.
