Islamic State claims suicide attack at German music festival

An Islamic State fighter carried out the suicide bombing that injured 15 people outside a music festival in the southern German town of Ansbach, the jihadist group's Amaq news agency said on Monday.

"The individual who carried out the martyrdom operation in Ansbach in Germany was a soldier of IS who executed the operation in response to calls to target nations in the coalition fighting the Islamic state," Amaq said, citing an IS source.

Amaq issued the claim of responsibility in Arabic, English and German.

Syrian failed asylum-seeker Mohammed Daleel had pledged allegiance to Islamic State on a video found on his mobile phone, Bavarian interior minister Joachim Herrmann said on Monday.

"I think that after this video there's no doubt that the attack was a terrorist attack with an Islamist background," Herrmann told reporters.

The man threatened a "revenge attack" on Germans in the video, he said.

The Ansbach festival was cancelled after 27-year-old Daleel detonated an explosives-packed rucksack outside a wine bar on Sunday and 2,000 people were sent home.

Daleel had previously had twice attempted suicide and had received treatment in psychiatric unit. He had been due to be deported to Bulgaria, authorities said.
