A bomb was exploded in a wine bar in Ansbach, Germany. One person is reported dead and another 11 injured. A witness claims that just a couple of minutes before the bombing, a man with a backpack had been denied entrance to a music festival.
A Bavarian Interior minister said:
We assume it is not an accident
A spokesman for the Bavarian interior minister Joachim Herrmann said the explosio was a “deliberate” act rather than an accident.
He said: “At present we assume it is not an accident.”
Heavily armed police are at the scene and officers have cordoned off the area around the wine bar.

Germany is on high alert following a series of incidents in recent days.
On Sunday, a Syrian refugee hacked a woman to death with a machete and injured two others in Reutlingen.
The 21-year-old man was apparently acting alone and has been arrested, with locals indicating it may have been “a crime of passion”.
And on Friday, nine people were killed in a shooting near a shopping centre in Munich, which was carried out by an 18-year-old German and Iranian dual natonal who later turned the gun on himself.
If the bomber had been able to gain entrance into the Ansbach Open Music Festival, it could have been much worse. The Festival was closed due to the bombing.
