German officials vow more checking of migrants after attacks

It appears to be the same as the one found by German investigators on the suicide bomber’s phone.

Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann says the Islamic State group “is waging a brutal war of aggression… against our way of life”.

“I believe that after this video we can not doubt that this attack was an Islamist terror attack”, Herrmann said. “He threatens a specific act of revenge against the Germans because they stand in the way of Islam, as revenge for the killing of Muslims”.

Bavarian authorities said that the bomb which exploded in Ansbach was constructed in such a way that it was clearly meant to kill as many people as possible. Police raided the attacker’s home and uncovered gasoline and other chemicals that point to bomb-making, reports CBS News.

Horst Seehofer, the interior minister of Bavaria — where three of last week’s attacks took place — told the daily Sueddeutsche Zeitung Tuesday: “We must know who is in our country”.

The attack injured twelve people, three seriously, and forced the evacuation of more than 12,000 people from the event. “But our constitutional order will not yield”.

The perpetrator left 15 bystanders injured and ended his own life, resulting in the only person killed from the explosion. However, police said he had no extremist profile.

JULY 18, WUERZBURG A17-year-old asylum seeker was shot dead by German police after he wounded five people with an axe on a train near Wuerzburg, Bavaria. After refusal a year ago, a third attempt to deport him was looming. Authorities said his asylum application was rejected and he was twice ordered to be deported to Bulgaria.

“The Syrian in Ansbach was facing deportation and this was to Bulgaria”, he concluded. Alireza Khodadadi told The Associated Press that the suspect had insisted that the Islamic State group was not representative of Islam. The attack in the southern city of Ansbach on Sunday night was the fourth in Germany in a week. It has challenged their identities, their economies, the very societal security on which many of these states are predicated and so we start to see groups like Pegida pushing back against some of these migrant groups, trying to reclaim what they see as their inherent national identities and this is often taking quite a violent stream, and this has often ended up in attacks.

In another assault on Sunday, a machete-wielding 21-year-old male, also identified as Syrian refugee, killed a pregnant woman in a town south of Stuttgart. “They always say a friendly hello when they pass by on their way to their language classes”, the man said.

“A security man ran to the entrance. Neither the identities of all of the people who have come here nor their mental and physical health have been examined”, he said. Police did not issue an official comment.

“Nothing can be covered up but nothing should be exaggerated”.

The German government said Monday a terrorism link to the suicide bomb attack in southern Germany on Sunday night could not be ruled out, pledging to take measures to protect its citizens, while warning against suspicion against the overall group of refugees.

“I am sure there are concerns and worry”, he said, “but I can not discern that the German population is filled with angst, something that wouldn’t be good because fear offers poor counsel”.

Police said the gunman was a mentally troubled individual who was obsessed with mass shootings and may have planned the attack for a year.
