Published on: 

The Syrian asylum seeker who blew himself up outside a music festival in Germany was a "soldier" of the Islamic State group, the jihadist-linked Amaq news agency said today.

It quoted an "insider source" as saying Sunday's attacker in the southern city of Ansbach who wounded 15 people "was a soldier of the Islamic State" who had acted "in response to calls to target nations in the coalition fighting" ISIS.
