En eksplosjon i den tyske byen Ansbach skyldtes ikke noen ulykke eller gasslekkasje, sier byens ordfører Carda Seidel. En person er så langt funnet død og 10 er skadet.

The town’s mayor Carda Seidel has now said the blast was intentional and caused by an explosive device, not an accidental gas explosion as earlier reports suggested.

The explosion ripped through a restaurant in the city centre at around 10pm this evening, and at least one person has been confirmed dead, with a further 11 more injured.

Sky News melder at etterforskerne tror at den døde personen var terroristen:

Detectives believe that the person who died was likely to have been the attacker. According to Suddeutsche Zeitung, the explosion happened in front of the wine bar – not far from the entrance of a music festival. More than 2,000 people were evacuated from that event, which has now been cancelled.

Og Daily Mail legger til at det er ubekreftede meldinger om at en mann med ryggsekk ble avvist ved inngangen til festivalen like før eksplosjonen.

Unconfirmed reports on social media claimed a man with a backpack was denied entry to the festival just moments before the blast.
