Photo Gallery Europe's IKEA Attacks

A string of attacks on European IKEA stores has left company officials and police alike baffled. The latest scare occurred in the German city Kiel on Wednesday, just five days after a minor explosion by an incendiary device at one of the Swedish retailer's stores in the eastern city of Dresden.

German authorities released a sketch of a man suspected in the Dresden attack on Saturday. They had hoped that video surveillance footage of the store would allow them to replace the sketch with a still photo, but this has proved impossible. The image has been broadcast on a popular German crime-solving show, but it has not generated any serious leads.

On Wednesday, German authorities revealed that several messages claiming responsibility for the attack in Dresden had been received. Police are currently analyzing the messages to determine their veracity.
