The Ansbach attack happened at around 10.10pm on Sunday outside a cafe, Eugen’s Weinstube, at the entrance to the Ansbach Open festival . “He was denied asylum in Germany because his fingerprints had been taken in Bulgaria, and he had only obtained a temporary leave to remain in Germany,” he said. An initial translation of the Arabic-language video showed the man announcing a “revenge” attack against Germany for “all the Muslims it has killed”. Germany will boost police presence at airports and train stations and carry out stop-and-search operations close to border areas, as residents were told to brace themselves for more acts of terrorism. He said the perpetrator of the Ansbach attack had requested asylum in 2014.
