Some early speculation about a gas leak, but mayor has said it was an explosive device.

Motw to come.

7/24/2016 7:53:02 PM

Sky news is reporting that it looks like the dead person may have been a person carrying/wearing the explosive device.

If that's the case, a suicide attack could be an ISIS attack or ISIS inspired. Very different than what happened in Munich. ISIS has been calling for attacks in Germany and France.

7/24/2016 8:07:15 PM

It is going to get bad as ISIS gets desperate and squeezed in.

7/24/2016 8:16:41 PM

And a Syrian refugee just murdered someone with a machete in Germany today as well.

I hope Angela Merkel has plans for her post political career.

7/24/2016 8:41:31 PM

yup looks like a suicide attack. 12 injured.

^ that guy was a bonafide nutcase who had gotten into trouble before for fighting with neighbors, not a terrorist. he should have been deported the first time around.

yeah, merkel fucked germany up. as for post-political career, that's when ex-politicians make the most money, going around the world giving speeches at $50-100K a pop. working a "consultants" for millions a year.

Suicide bomber was also a Syrian. He had been denied asylum previously.

Yeah but this has to be the weakest terror attacks of all time. He failed and Germany wonto have a knee jerk reaction. IsIs is pretty genius and are winning this wareview against the entire world right now because of psychological advantage.

They are ripping the most powerful countries apart from within : They have almost destroyed the European Union with an imvading army of a few dozen. ]

^ yeah that's fucked up

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-germany-blast-idUSKCN1040Y7

it seems like it wasn't a suicide bombing as we know suicide bombings (suicide bomb vest/belt). also, he had attempted suicide earlier when his asylum had been denied. so, it seems like partly his mission was just to kill himself cuz he was mental, but it wasn't a "pure suicide" attempt as the article says.

7/25/2016 3:38:04 AM

I mean, he had a backpack full of explosives and nails, it's pretty clear his goal was to take people with him.

7/25/2016 5:25:10 AM

what the hell. bbc has just gone nutters since brexit. maybe they should have hung back and moved to germany

7/25/2016 7:08:00 AM

^^ agreed.

7/25/2016 7:18:12 AM

That headline is worse than the recent Pakistani model honor killing where the headline was "Pakistani model killed after offending conservatives." Gotta love the leftist media

7/25/2016 12:47:34 PM

^ what outlet was that headline on? all the ones i saw were unequivocal that it was murder and made no excuses for it.

^ thanks.

My dad was at that beergarten. Close enough to get hit by shrapnel from the wooden chair the dude was sitting in. There was enough explosives to kill a lot more people but luckily the bomb failed and only the trigger exploded

Jesus, dude. I'm glad he wasn't seriously hurt.

7/25/2016 6:33:06 PM

^^ wow, glad he escaped unscathed.

that reminds me, i met a someone yesterday whose cousin is the last or one of the last ones to be released from hospital after the orlando attack. she said he was shot in the leg and an in the head, but has made a full recovery with no brain damage. that was the first time i met someone in person who knows a terrorism victim personally.
