Authorities are hunting suspected members of the left-wing extremist Vulkangruppe after an arson attack plunged tens of thousands of homes in Berlin into darkness for days.

As Berlin scrambles to respond to the outage, critics say years of denial about extremist threats have left authorities reacting late—and at public expense.
