Two hurt in blast attack near Turkish Kurd event in Germany
Two people were injured when an unknown assailant threw an explosive device as spectators entered a hall to hear a Turkish Kurd singer in Germany, police said on Monday. The blast took place on Sunday evening in an underground entrance to a concert hall in the northern city of Hamburg, where the singer Ibrahim Tatlisis was performing. The two people injured were members of the security team for the event. Police said the man believed to have thrown the device -- which was probably a grenade -- was seen running away, covered in blood. Despite the attack, the concert went ahead and was attended by around 1,000 people. Germany is home to a large population of Turkish immigrants, many of them Kurds. Police said they did not know what the motives for Sunday's attack might have been.
