Bavaria interior minister: Ansbach bomber's phone record suggests accomplice involved [DeutscheWelle] Bavaria's interior minister, Joachim Herrmann, on Wednesday said that a suspected accomplice may have contacted the 27-year-old Syrian asylum seeker who blew himself up last week, injuring 15 people in the town of Ansbach. "There was apparently an immediate contact with someone who had a significant influence on this attack," Herrmann said in a statement. The state interior minister noted that the assailant was in an online chat immediately prior to the attack, although it is unclear who he was speaking to or whether it was a member of the "Islamic State" militant group, which claimed responsibility for the attack. The group said he had been in constant contact with a "soldier" of the self-declared Islamic State. He said authorities discovered an "intensive chat" on the suspect's phone, adding it "appears to end immediately before the attack." "Because of witness testimony on what happened and also the course of the chat, there are indeed questions about whether he intended to set off the bomb at that moment," he added. Herrmann noted that the bomb likely went off before it was expected to, highlighting the fact that the suspect killed himself and solely injured others.
