At Least 15 Wounded in German Restaurant Blast; Attacker Was Syrian Muslim, Was Denied Asylum

In what is believed to be the fourth Muslim terrorist attack in Germany within the past week, at least 15 people were wounded after an explosion at a restaurant/bar on July 23 in Ansbach, Germany, the USA Today website reports today (July 25, 2016).

Authorities say the attacker -- a 27-year-old Syrian Muslim who was denied asylum -- died in the blast when the device he was carrying exploded.

Police sealed off the area around Eugene's Wine Bar.

Carda Seidel, the mayor of Ansbach, told reporters yesterday that the blast was deliberate. The blast took place outside of a popular music festival. Ansbach is a community near Nuremberg.
