    This just happened a few hours a go. Lots of confusing reports. From gas leak to the mayor calling it a bomb. Nearby music festival was evacuated.

    At least one person has been killed and nine others injured after an explosion struck a restaurant in the south German city of Ansbach, Bavaria.
    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.

    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, Carda Seidel, announced that authorities believe it was triggered by an improvised explosive device.

    According to media reports, the explosion occurred in front of a restaurant shortly after 10:00pm local time. A music festival nearby was forced to end and around 2,500 visitors were evacuated.

    Police and rescue workers are currently engaged in a large-scale operation. Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann is en route to the area, according to his spokesman.

    Ansbach is located in the German state of Bavaria, some 40km (25 miles) from Nuremberg and around 150 km (93 miles) northwest of Munich.

    I don't know that much about Germany, and I might be wrong, but from what I gather Bavaria is a separate state, and that there are talks about splitting with Berlin because of the refugee problem.

    Please describe the method of migrants lawful purchase of a firearm in Germany.

    If you could also clear up their lawful purchase of explosives we'd like to hear about that too.

    Keep calm and bring in more Syrians, maybe you can import your way out of the problem.

    another incident another moment of prayer another useless gesture that will not do anything.

    I hope people are as fed up as I am.

    If your going to do your what third or fourth moment of solidarity with xxx in the last 3-4 months you should have realized by now you are better of discussing what the actual problem is.

    Just our daily bombing/mass murder. It's now a cost of doing business.

    If the terrorists want to inflict terror, they're losing. We're numb to this.

    I guess Angela Merkel like Obama will call it work place violence.

    Suicide bomber denied asylum in Germany wounds 12 people during blast at music festival


    A 27-year-old Syrian denied asylum and entry to a German music festival in Anbach took his own life and wounded a dozen people in a suicide bombing late Sunday.

    The blast rocked an entrance to the Anbach Open festival near a wine bar in the Bavarian city 90 miles northwest of Munich. The attacker seriously wounded three people at around 10 p.m., authorities said.

    Police believe the attacker acted alone and detonated the device when he was unable to produce a ticket, according to Der Spiegel.

    "The German system of gun control is among the most stringent in Europe. It restricts the acquisition, possession, and carrying of firearms to those with a creditable need for a weapon. It bans fully automatic weapons and severely restricts the acquisition of other types of weapons. Compulsory liability insurance is required for anyone who is licensed to carry firearms.

    In recent years, German gun-control law underwent several reforms that made it even more stringent. A new Weapons Act became effective in 2003 after a school shooting in the city of Erfurt in which a student killed sixteen persons. The new Act restricted the use of large caliber weapons by young people and strengthened requirements for the safe storage of firearms."

    It seems that the Library of Congress say's differently.

    Allah Ahkbar has nothing to do with terrorism. It's a phrase that is said billions of times every day by Muslims in this world. Ignorant people tie it to terrorism because they don't know any Muslims and they think it's only said by terrorists. If that kid was a terrorist then so are all US mass / school shooters.

    If that's true, how the hell was it that he was freely wandering around in public?

    I don't know! How do Illegal aliens freely wander around in public in America?
    Didn't you question the most obvious things, like. Where did he get a bomb? How did he know how to build a bomb? 27 year old Syrian refugee or, ISIS infiltrator?

    That's more than likely - making a bomb comes as natural to them as making an omelette!

    Indeed it is terrorism when a Muslim yells it before blowing himself up or before he starts cracking people over the head with an axe.
