Bavaria’s interior minister says a man who blew himself up at a bar in the southern German town of Ansbach was in an online chat with an as-yet unknown person immediately before the explosion.
News agency dpa reported that Joachim Herrmann said Wednesday: “There was apparently an immediate contact with someone who had a significant influence on this attack.”
He said it wasn’t clear whether the assailant was in contact with the Islamic State group or where the other person in the chat was.
