Could have been much worse if the bouncers hadn't turned him away so that he had to blow himself up outside.

The dead man entered Germany two years ago and had his asylum claim rejected a year ago, Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann said.
He had been given leave to stay temporarily given the situation in his home country and provided with an apartment in Ansbach, Mr Herrmann added.
The minister said he was "incensed" by the attack which, he said, demonstrated the need to "strengthen controls on those we have living in our country".
Mr Herrmann said the man had been known to have attempted suicide twice and had spent time in a psychiatric
clinic....well said Mr Herrmann though you will probably be without a job by lunch time.

With luck the deranged Merkel will also be out of a job by lunchtime.

If she has one last shred of self-respect left she will resign in shame at her reckless actions.

The BBC cannot get any lower in my view.  I have long suspected them of trying to manipulate the truth to downplay the dire problems Islam causes in Britain and Europe, but remained mindful that my own personal feelings might be prejudicing such an opinion.  The recent debacle regards blatantly changing a murderer's name to sound less Arabic has dispelled any such fears, they are deliberately feeding the public misinformation to suit their own agenda.

Very worrying indeed.  Hopefully. the internet will help to guard us against such despicable journalism.

The Munich police released the killer's name as David S. Not sure why the beeb are getting stick for using that.

It seems clear now that importing "asylum seekers" = violent deaths for non asylum seekers, how many of these deaths should be tolerated in the coming years?

When politicians make these decisions they have in mind a figure of casualties they think the public will tolerate,Merkel is sailing close to the wind and much more of these attacks will see her either resign or be removed.

The BBC are getting stick for persisting in using a name specifically designed to conceal the identity of the attacker.

That the Munich police tried this Swedish tactic is to their shame.

Cologne was covered up by the police initially,they called it a quiet night with nothing to report.

Merkel boxed herself in last year and can never admit to making a mistake, so it seems almost certain that people will continue to die.

BBC Still Puzzled By Motive Of Syrian With Suicide Bomb Rucksack At German Festival

by JAMES DELINGPOLE 25 Jul 2016

A Syrian failed asylum seeker has blown himself up with a rucksack bomb, injuring several bystanders, in the town of Ansbach, Germany, apparently after being thwarted in an attempt to attack an open-air music festival.
But you’ll never guess how the BBC chose to report the incident when news first broke.

No, actually, you probably will.

SYRIAN MIGRANT DIES IN GERMAN BLAST

Those pesky German blasts, eh? There you are – an ordinary, decent Syrian migrant wandering around a German city one evening with a rucksack packed with explosives strapped to your back – when, through absolutely no fault of your own, the bloody thing only goes and blows itself up, taking you with it.

Could happen to anyone.

Still, the good thing is that the German authorities aren’t jumping to any conclusions. Here’s Bavaria’s Interior Minister quoted in the BBC article, which has now had its headline changed to ‘Ansbach explosion: Syrian asylum seeker blows himself up in Germany.’

“We don’t know if this man planned on suicide or if he had the intention of killing others,” he said.

Fair point. It’s the dilemma everyone goes through when contemplating suicide. Do I overdose on pills? Or slit my wrists in a hot bath? Or hang myself? Or should I just take the simple, painless option of going onto the internet, downloading a bombmaking manual, assembling all the ingredients, stuffing them in a rucksack with lots of bits of metal to make sure I’m really properly deaded, then heading towards the nearest music festival so that I can enjoy a few top choons in my final moments and perhaps share my personal tragedy with a few others….?

What with all this Islamic terrorism about it would be all too easy for the more closed-minded among us to jump to premature conclusions. Thank goodness organisations like the BBC and the Guardian are there to wag their fingers at us when we do!
