germany ability: It was the fourth attack to shake Germany in a week, and the second claimed by the Islamic State group, according to Brandon Sun. Three of the attacks were carried out by recent immigrants, rekindling concerns about Germany ability to cope with the estimated 1 million migrants registered entering the country last year, an influx that has since dwindled as the flow of newcomers slowed. The assailant set off a backpack laden with explosives and shrapnel Sunday night after being refused entry to a crowded music festival in the Bavarian city of Ansbach because he didn't have a ticket. Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann said a laptop with extremist videos was found at the apartment of the suspect, a 27-year-old Syrian identified only as Mohammad D in line with German privacy laws. Germany is not involved in combat operations but has contributed reconnaissance aircraft to the effort. A video on his cellphone showed him declaring loyalty to the Islamic State group and announcing a "revenge act against Germans because they are standing in the way of Islam."The suspect also declared Germans "won't be able to sleep peacefully anymore," Herrmann said. "I think after this video there no doubt that the attack was a terror attack with an Islamist motivation."In its claim of responsibility, the extremist group said the attack was carried out by "one of the soldiers of the Islamic State."The IS-linked Aamaq news agency said the attacker acted in response to the extremist group call to target countries of the U.S.-led coalition fighting it in Iraq and Syria.
