The German authorities after the explosion in Ansbach, which the Bavarian police nevertheless called the attack, studied the personal belongings of the Syrian responsible for the attack. It turned out that on its electronic devices there are “Islamic materials”, in particular the video in which he swore allegiance to the Islamic State ( Daish ) for the prohibited in the Russian Federation.
As AP notes, referring to high -ranking officials in Bavarian security structures, law enforcement officers studied the phone number of the attacker. BBC , referring to his sources, notes that on the phone and on the Syrian laptop there were "some Salafi materials."
Later, on Monday afternoon, the agency reported that the Islamic State already took responsibility for the explosion in Ansbach.
The head of the Bavaria Ministry of Internal Affairs, Joachim Herman,, in turn, during a press conference stated that a video was discovered on a mobile phone belonging to an extremist in which he threatened to arrange a terrorist attack in Germany as a revenge for the Germans for killing Muslims. " The offender in Arabic claimed that he acts "in the name of Allah," added Herman.
He specified that two phones, several SIM cards and a laptop were found in the personal belongings of the criminal. At the same time, according to Herman, at present, local law enforcement agencies do not have evidence of the direct connection of the criminal with the IG. “It should be based on the fact that the actions of the criminal were not completely independent of Islamic thoughts,” said Herman.
According to the head of the Bavaria Ministry of Internal Affairs, this was shown by the first check of the suspect and the first investigative actions. In the apartment of a man from Syria, who is suspected of a suicide terrorist attack, they found a "video of violence of Islamist orientation."
“As a result, all the materials found still indicate that the explosion has an Islamist background. There is still no evidence to the Islamist organization,” he summed up.
The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Federal Republic of Germany Thomas de Mesier, meanwhile, did not rule out that the offender could be either connected with the IS and a mentally ill person. “It could be a combination of two factors,” he said.
In addition, it turned out that the Syrians were going to deport to Bulgaria. The representative of the German Ministry of Internal Affairs Tobias Plan could not explain why the deportation of a 27-year-old refugee did not take place, RIA Novosti reports. It also remains unclear when exactly he should have expelled from the country.
He explained why the Syrians wanted to send to Bulgaria. "The Syrians cannot be deported directly to Syria because of the situation in the country," he said, speaking to journalists.
Later it became known that against the backdrop of the German Ministry of Internal Affairs, they ordered the increase in the number of police officers at airports, at stations and state borders of the country, Reuters reports.
