The contents of the backpack were sufficient to harm and kill more people.

Pieces of metal have been found scattered in a wide area.

We cannot exclude that he is a radical extremist, but there is no proof.

I think it is a lot like gang stuff here. Disnefranchised, no eduacation, minimal family, mental,hopelessness, nor relationships,unemployment, language barriers, financial problems no hope for a meaningful future, alchol drugs, being illigal in some instances personal losses as a result of us killing their families over there, capitalism, wanting to feel connected to SOMETHING anything, some purpose.............moo

IIRC some of the attackers in Paris and Belgium all had petty crime backgrounds before turning to terrorism. Such people - probably in poverty/welfare dependence, make fairly good targets for recruiting. The old sociological concept of anomie - these young men are not well integrated into the social order of Western or even any society, and feel no reason to believe in the social contract.

To blame their religion is too simplistic - most Muslims never hurt a soul and many of these men actually aren't very devout or are raised non-religious. It is a much deeper social malaise that, due to all aspects of globalisation, has international consequences.

Great post too Eloise. I don't know how we can fight the issues you and CARIIS have mentioned society has a mammoth task in trying to combat this. I don't know how it can be done but countries have to do something we cannot live in a world with constant terrorist bombings, shootings and machete/axe attacks.

Suicide bomb rocks Ansbach, Germany

An explosion in the southern German city of Ansbach was a suicide attack, according to the region's interior minister. The bomber died in the blast.

A device was exploded by a 27-year-old Syrian national outside a music festival. He had been denied entry into the event due to the lack of a ticket, Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann said during a news conference early Monday.

Twelve people were injured.

The man, who has not yet been named, stood around the festival entrance for a short period before he blew himself up. The music festival and surrounding area were evacuated.

Authorities said the bomber had previously applied for asylum in Germany but had had his application rejected. He was also known to police in Ansbach for previous offenses. German media outlets reported that he had previously attempted suicide.

Herrmann said his backpack contained screws and nails, an apparent attempt to inflict further damage.

Officially this attack is not confirmed as terrorism, he said, but there are strong indications it may be.

Take care, all.

Yes, backpack removed and the area opened again, but no word on what was in the bag. I hope it was just a lost bag.

Good to see that the backpack remained fairly intact. Shrapnel wounds are terrible. I hope the victims have a speedy recovery.


Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann:

'It's terrible ... that someone who came into our country to seek shelter has now committed such a heinous act and injured a large number of people who are at home here, some seriously,' Herrmann told a hastily convened news conference early on Monday.

'It's a further, horrific attack that will increase the already growing security concerns of our citizens. We must do everything possible to prevent the spread of such violence in our country by people who came here to ask for asylum.'

He told Reuters the recent attacks raised serious questions about Germany's asylum law and security across the country and said he planned to introduce measures at a Bavarian government meeting on Tuesday to strengthen the police forces and ensure they have adequate equipment.

He said investigators had yet to determine the motive of the attacks. 'Because the rucksack and this bomb were packed with so many metal parts that could have killed and injured many more people, it cannot simply be considered a pure suicide attempt.'
