The 2010 Bertenau bombings, known in Vierzland as 11/5 or 11. Mai, were a series of five coordinated bombings of the Bertenau Metro by the Tariqist terrorist group Army of God on the morning of Tuesday, 11 May 2010. The attacks killed 135 people and injured another 1,120, while causing over $65 million in physical damages. The bombings were the deadliest terrorist attack in Vierz history and the most recent after the 1981 Tilburg arson attacks.
