From the article above:

A bomb went off near the bus of the German football team Borussia Dortmund as it prepared to leave the hotel for their home Champions League quarterfinal game, the team has said. Police have confirmed that three explosions occurred, but did not say what exactly caused them.

...

The wheel rims of the bus were destroyed by the blast and one person was injured, police announced.

The incident occurred around 19:00 (local time) (18:00 GMT) ahead of the team's Champion League quarterfinal game against AS Monaco.

So far three letters with claims of responsibility were sent or found. According to news all with the same wording and with islamistic background. In the morning I read that one letter belonged to a antifascist group, but isn't confirmed.

Just some days ago I thought that many things are happening in Dortmund, because a family in a train was beaten on the 10th April, more indirectly on a train in direction of Dortmund a man with a knife attacked some passengers (the incident itself happened in Bavaria) on the 08th April, on 31st of March an explosion destroyed one house in Dortmund, 21st of March a person was killed while drying to detonate a ticket machine on a train station.

Other than that the timing is interesting considering the federal election this year in Germany with the possibility to scare people.
