| Bomb blast kills 1, injures 11 at German restaurant | ||
| 2016-07-25 | ||
| RT, but I've seen other sources At least one person has been killed and 11 others injured after an explosion struck a restaurant in the south German city of Ansbach, Bavaria. Authorities believe it was a ‘deliberate' act caused by an improvised device. 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. "The explosion in downtown Ansbach was not a gas explosion, but was caused by an explosive device," Ansbach Mayor Carda Seidel confirmed. Seidel also said that it should not be ruled out that there could have been several explosions. Police suspect that the only person killed in the explosion was the attacker himself, local media report. The police have set up an operations center in City Hall and a crisis team has been formed. A special police task force (SEC) has also been deployed. Volunteer firefighters from Nuremberg, Katzwang and Almoshof were called in to assist authorities.

| #13 That's what I learned in first Intifada, AC. When you replace another reserve unit. On the first day you trow stones on your patrol. If you don't respond strongly. Next day there will be empty bottles. If you still don't respond like Attila the Hun, the next day it will be Molotovs. |

| #12 Maybe g(r)om, but it's the discrepancy between 9/11 and what's come since that I find curious. There are so many big targets that they could go for with little to no increase in their resources. By big I mean high PR value. Hollywood red carpets, Tour de France, Olympics, Cannes etc. that would really rattle the china. I kind of believe it's a little of everything but........... |

| #11 That's their way of war AC. They always start small and, if there's no strong response, escalate. |

| #10 Paris was pretty big. Germany has so far been lucky enough to avoid anything that big but the minor incidents seem to be on the rise. |

| #6 Lately I've been wondering about these terror attacks in the west, as nasty as they've been they just don't seem big enough or blingy enough to really make an impression. Think what a statement multiple IED attack on the peloton of the Tour de France would make. I'm left to choose between these alternatives (or some combination): 1) Our intelligence is much better than it seems and the big events a quietly squashed. 2) The jihadi network just ain't that big. 3) The leading jihadis are ignorant about what would get attention 4) They're really stupid. 9/11 was a very big very splashy event. What's happened since then that really made a mark granted that the MSM won't push any story that says bad things about the Muzzies. |

| #4 Ex-congresswoman claims Israel behind European massacres Cynthia McKinney links to video ‘proving’ Israel responsible for Nice, Munich attacks because German photographer supposedly at both scenes is married to former MK: see here: http://www.timesofisrael.com/ex-congresswoman-claims-israel-behind-european-massacres/ But then, Cynthia McKinney was always a few seeds short of a watermelon... |

| #2 3 times in one week. Either this is incredible bad luck (still possible!) or this is Enemy action. A few more such incidents, and something important is going to break. |

| #1 What we know: - 27yo Syrian, entered the country 2 years ago (before the big rush), was refused asylum but allowed to stay (Germany doesn't ship back to war-torn Syria) - Lived on taxpayers' money in a flat - Has attempted suicide twice before - carried backpack with explosives - tried to gain entry to a music festival with 2500 people attending but was refused entry by security because he had no ticket. - hung around at the entrance for a while then went airborne. - sharp small metal fragments found suggest the bastard wanted to do maximum damage - was reanimated but died shortly hereafter |
