techbeck Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 At least one person has been killed and 12 others injured after an explosion struck a restaurant in the south German city of Ansbach, Bavaria. Authorities believe it was a ‘deliberate’ act caused by an improvised device. The incident took place in the central part of the city, close to an area in which a music festival took place at the weekend, Suddeutsche Zeitung reported. Police have cordoned off the area around the restaurant and are conducting a crime scene investigation. “The explosion in downtown Ansbach was not a gas explosion, but was caused by an explosive device,” Ansbach Mayor Carda Seidel confirmed. Seidel also said that it should not be ruled out that there could have been several explosions. Police suspect that the only person killed in the explosion was the attacker himself, local media report. A spokesman for the Bavarian interior minister said that the explosion in the Eugene Weinstube restaurant was a “deliberate” act rather than an accident. “At present we assume it is not an accident," the spokesman said. Initial reports indicated that a gas leak may have caused the incident, but the mayor of the city, announced that authorities believe it was triggered by an improvised explosive device.

chrisj1968 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 this is what is happening due to the influx of Muslims into the country. Muslims came VERY close to conquering Europe in the 7th and 13th centuries, the ottoman turks and byzantine empires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trag3dy Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 (edited) Police suspect that the only person killed in the explosion was the attacker himself, local media report It's just a shame he was trying to take others with him. I'd hazard a guess as to what compels a person to do something like this but I don't want to upset certain other individuals on the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not up on the Byzantine Empire. However, I know for a fact the ottoman turks were. But Islam, its bible the Quran calls for complete domination of all people.

Torolol Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Quote Initial reports indicated that a gas leak may have caused the incident, How quick and readily the "gas leak" narrative was pushed as soon incident happened, earned quick mockery like: - Isolated gas leak incidient - Lone gas wolf. - Gas leak are peaceful, etc...

DocM Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 He pledged to IS https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2016/07/24/world/ansbach-germany-blast/index.html (CNN)-The Syrian suicide bomber who injured 15 people in a Sunday night attack on a music festival in Ansbach, Germany, left behind a video pledging allegiance to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann said Monday. The ISIS-affiliated media group Amaq claimed the attacker was an ISIS "soldier" in a statement the group's supporters posted online Monday, but there is no evidence he was in contact with ISIS or directed to carry out an attack.
