At Least 10 Injured, Suspect Believed Killed in Explosion in Germany

At least 10 people were injured in an explosion in the center of the old town in Ansbach, Germany, and the person suspected of causing the blast was killed, police said.

Police learned of the explosion just after 10 p.m., and they closed off a large area around the site, Ansbach police said.

"A man, according to the latest intelligence also the suspect, was killed," a police statement said.

The incident occurred near the site of an open-air music festival, according to The Associated Press.

Ansbach Mayor Carda Seidel said an "explosive device" blew up in the city center, but provided few other details, the AP reported.

The Bavarian Interior Ministry told the dpa news agency that it appeared to possibly be a bombing attack, and said there was evidence that it was a "deliberate explosion."
