Suitcase Bomb Detonated in Germany

the Telegraph reports-

An explosion has been reported near a migration office in the town Zirndorf, near Nuremberg, in Germany.

The explosion was caused by a suitcase full of aerosols. It was not confirmed if there were any casualties.

Zirndorf has previously seen neo-Nazi marches.

German police reportedly said a man and a woman planted the suitcase as a makeshift bomb. 

It comes amid heightened tension between refugees and locals in Germany due to a huge influx of asylum seekers from Syria and Afghanistan.

Last Sunday, a 27-year-old Syrian refugee blew himself up outside a bar in Bavaria in what was described as an attempted Islamist attack which injured twelve people.

On the same day, a pregnant woman was hacked to death by a Syrian man in the German town of Reutlingen. Police described the incident as a “crime of passion.”
