Bavarian Official on Suicide Attacker
Joachim Herrmann, the interior minister of the state of Bavaria, said on Monday that a man suspected of being the suicide bomber who attacked a crowd in Ansbach pledged allegiance to the Islamic State in a video.
Nuremberg - 25 July 2016//SOUNDBITE (German) Joachim Herrmann, Bavarian Interior Minister:“As you will have noticed just now, the police just informed me about another detail from the analysis of the mobiles. A threat about an attack by the perpetrator himself in the form of a video has been found. It is in Arabic and an initial provisional translation by an interpreter has been done, according to which he (the attacker) explicitly announces in the name of Allah, and pledges his allegiance to (Islamic State group leader) Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, a known Islamist leader, and explicitly announces a revenge act against Germans, because they were an obstacle to Islam, as revenge for the killing of Muslims, as a revenge Germans are being threatened with an attack. (It said that) there were people who were done with the world and they (Germans) would not be able to sleep in peace again. That of course has now to be analysed in detail, but I think this video leaves no doubt that the attack was a terrorist attack with an Islamist background and an Islamist conviction of the perpetrator.”
