Suicide Bomber in Germany Confirmed ISIS Loyalty in Video
(ABC News) A Syrian suicide bomber who injured 15 people and wounded dozens at a musical festival in Ansbach, Germany, on Sunday pledged allegiance to ISIS in a video found on his phone, according to Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann. In addition, a source told Amaq, the official ISIS media arm, "The attack was carried out by a soldier" who "executed the operation" in response to "calls to target" Western countries fighting ISIS. Last Monday, an asylum seeker attacked passengers on a commuter train in Bavaria with an axe and a knife, injuring five people. On Friday, a German-Iranian killed nine people in a shooting in Munich. On Saturday, a Syrian refugee killed a woman and injured four others with a knife in Reutlingen.
