    Credits:
  • Germany saw an influx of over 2 million refugees and migrants into its borders after its Chancellor, Angela Merkel, enabled an open-door immigration policy for those nationals in war-torn and fragile countries.

    This figure is touted to be the highest after the Second World War.

    Merkel has since faced severe criticisms over her policy, as it has induced a spate of crimes and attacks.

  • Ministry officials said the attack happened at a music festival in the state, where the attacker had been denied entry before the explosion took place.

    The Syrian had entered Germany two years ago, and his request to seek asylum in the country was rejected a year ago.

    Officials said that he had attempted suicide twice before and had received psychiatric care earlier.

    Officials uncertain over attacker's motive

  • "We still don't know whether the offender only wanted to commit suicide or whether it was his intention to kill other people as well," Joachim Herrmann, Bavarian interior minister said at a press conference, highlighting the need for measures to prevent crimes by asylum seekers.
