IIRC there had been other overruns with this type of aircraft before ?

Only by correctly positioning the power levers at a precise angle, ie in light contact with the flight idle stops, will the fingers be able to operate the latches solely against the spring pressure in order to move smoothly into the
beta range and thence into reverse.
beta range and thence into reverse.
The required sequence involves delicate, accurate movement of levers whose operation is fairly stiff, (accentuated for a pilot in the right-hand seat by the offset of the power levers positioning them further from his body) followed, often rapidly, by lifting of the latches.
Deliberate difficulty in attempting a continuous movement through idle thrust to reverse is created by the designed-in need to change hand position during the process.

"Are there "Iranian or Nigerian" Do328s?"
What I think he was referring to was the fact that the operator is a German Company. (There is a 328 (Jet) in Nigeria by the way.)
There was also another 328 runway over run in December 2006 in Columbia.
Hope the crew and pax not too shaken up. Got more than a few hours in the 328, what a lovely machine to operate but those throttle latches could be a bit of a pain at times. Please note I am not implying that is the case in this incident, just have to wait for the accident report and the investigators to do their stuff.

What do you mean with "German Do328"?
I have flown Mannheim a few times, but in SEP's. It is a VERY tricky airfield!

It has been a rough few weeks for "Germans" and landings.

German news magazine Der Spiegel claims it was due to a brake failure: http://www.spiegel.de/reise/aktuell/...542604,00.html
Brake failure .....
Interesting to read in the AAIB report linked above the comment by a captain on the type that the retardation from the props when the latch works correctly is normally such that braking on the runway is not required.

City Star Airlines (now defunct) had a 328T overrun at Aberdeen in June 06. Was not a power lever/detent issue a contributing factor to that one as the runway upwind end was rapidly approaching ?
