Germany blast: Ansbach explosion 'kills suspected bomber'
An explosion in the German city of Ansbach, near Nuremberg, has killed a suspected bomber and injured 12 other people, three seriously, police say.
They said a man - "according to our current knowledge the perpetrator" - had died in the blast.
The intended target was not clear but about 2,000 people have been evacuated from a nearby open-air music festival, the Bavarian interior ministry said.
It is third attack in the state of Bavaria in the past week.
A shooting rampage in Munich on Friday left nine dead while an axe attack on a train a week ago in Wuerzburg injured several people.
The explosion happened shortly after 22:00 (20:00 GMT) in, or close to, a wine bar that was near the entrance to the music festival, German media reported.
