MUNICH (AP) — German police closed the Oktoberfest fairgrounds Wednesday morning following a bomb threat from the suspected perpetrator of an explosion in northern Munich, city officials said.
At least one person’s death was believed to be connected to the explosion at a residential building early Wednesday, which Munich police said was deliberately set on fire and part of a domestic dispute.
It was not immediately clear whether the deceased was the suspected perpetrator or someone else. Another person, who was not considered to be a danger to the public, remained missing.
Specialized teams were called to the scene to defuse booby traps in the building, police said. Photos from the area also showed a burned-out van.
Officials discovered the bomb threat to Oktoberfest in a letter from the alleged perpetrator. Police searched the fairgrounds for other explosive devices and asked workers to leave the area. Authorities said the festival will be closed at least until 5 p.m. local time (1500 GMT) Wednesday.
This year’s Oktoberfest began on Sept. 20 and ends Oct. 5. The world’s largest beer festival usually attracts up to 6 million visitors.

Allahu Akbar?
“Hallo, Mohammad! Are you going to Oktoberfest?”
“What is Oktoberfest?”
“It is a fun time. They serve sausages and beer.”
“I will phone in a bomb threat now.”
Nothing like having a local domestic dispute spill all over and onto your best Oktoberfest galoshes (brrrrp, hic!).
Bomb in a tent.
Chatter says “ANTIFA” took responsibility but reports are still early.
Another day in paradise...
These followers of Satan need to be put down.....let’s save the world!
There seem to have been bombings, or shootings, or vehicles plowing into crowds at most recent large gatherings in Germany.
I just spent a day at the Fest on Monday - no problems, but it was a work day after all. The previous Saturday, there were so many visitors that they had to shut down the entry gates and did a big review of security procedures.
It’s not really a bomb “threat” if things have already gone boom.
Well isn’t this nice...
What are you going to do about these filthy, 7th century invaders, Europe?
Yell “uncle?
or
“ENOUGH”?
Look at the bright side. With the fair shut down, at least it will prevent a bunch of teenage girls from being groped and raped.
Yes, now which group id usually involved? hmmmm.....
Move along, nothing to see here... Things like this used to happen all the time before Merkel let the Invading Hordes come in...
*is
Yes, officially it was not Antifa, the police is not investigating them…hurm…🤨
Beer isn’t halal.
Lots of non-German and non-Western names seem to pop up in these acts of violence for some reason.
