There is only one problem: As in the U.S., every state has its own police forces (with the exemption of the federal police). If it were just an election ploy the governing mayor of Hamburg (which is a state in itself), Ole von Beust, probably wouldn't have played along.
Anyway, three chechens between 21 and 25 years of age have been apprehended and are being questioned right now.
