'No element' points in the direction of such an assault, said the German agency.

The German police also said that they believe the explosions were directly targeted at the club.

"We are assuming that they were a targeted attack against the Dortmund team," Dortmund city's police chief was quoted as saying by news agencies. -- Agencies
