Germany: Syrian asylum seeker suicide bomber blows himself up outside hotspot

EUK: The suspected bomber was a 27-year-old Syrian who had lived in Germany for two years but was denied asylum in the country a year ago, according to Bavaria’s top security official.

He blew himself up outside the wine bar in Ansbach, near Nuremburg, after being denied access to the nearby Ansbach Open music festival, according to Germany’s interior minister Joachim Herrmann.

Hermann said it is unclear if the suspect intended to kill others or just himself but said he had “tried to commit suicide” twice before and had previously been in psychiatric care in the district hospital in Ansbach.

Of the 12 people injured, three were critically injured in the blast, police said. MORE

  1. Just another noble immigrant committing the mass murder that lazy, self-indulgent westerners won’t do. Perhaps the best answer here is to close all wine bars.

  2. Really? A guy shows up at a crowded venue and blows himself up, and you clowns don’t know whether he was trying to kill other people? If you really feel like that, then you might as well give Bomber Command a pass on blow torching Dresden, because they might’ve been aiming at the railway yards nestled right next to town.

  3. If only there was some connection we could make between all of these attackers…Lord please help us discern a connection…our leaders can’t seem to put the pieces together.

  4. Sad, I lived in Ansbach from 1983 to 1985.I think I know the wine bar.

    I liked the town and people and I had a great time while I was there. I don’t even recall seeing a Turk guest worker back then.
