An explosion killed one person and injured 12 others when a bomb went off just outside the entrance to a music festival in the southern German city of Ansbach. According to German broadcaster Deutsche Welle, the explosion at Eugens Weinstube (Eugene\u2019s Winebar) took place at around 10:00 p.m. local time. The man has been identified as a 27-year-old Syrian who had previously been denied asylum. As eye-witnesses report, the perpetrator attempted to enter the festival but was denied due to his lack of ticket. In a press conference early Monday, Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Hermann said the Syrian man detonated an explosive device \u2014 and died of his injuries \u2014 after being turned away from the festival, the Associated Press reports. The festival is reported to have been immediately evacuated following the explosion. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
