"The attacker, who has not been named, was a rejected asylum seeker known for petty criminal offenses who was slated to be deported to Bulgaria, officials said Monday.
German Interior Thomas de Maiziere said the attacker arrived in Germany two years ago and applied for asylum in 2014. The request was denied, and under the auspices of the Dublin Regulation -- a European Union law governing states' responsibility for asylum seekers -- the attacker was supposed to be deported to Bulgaria, the country where he had entered the EU, said Johannes Dimroth, spokesman for Germany's Federal Interior Ministry.
However, the deportation was temporarily suspended due to medical evaluations, and the man was placed in a psychiatric clinic at some point, de Maiziere said. Officials said he had twice attempted suicide before the bombing.
The ISIS-affiliated media group Amaq claimed responsibility for the attack. In the video left on a mobile phone, the 27-year-old Syrian announced his threat to carry out an attack "as an act of revenge against Germans, because they obstruct Islam," Herrmann told a press conference. The man said the attack would be committed in the name of Allah as retaliation for the killing of Muslims. The bomber, who has not been named, was killed."
