The Munich Oktoberfest will reopen Wednesday evening after blasts, explosive booby-traps, and a major fire in the city linked to a written bomb threat against the festival triggered a police lockdown. One man, believed by police to be the perpetrator, was found dead after an explosion and fire in Munich, Germany, on Wednesday. It is believed the alleged perpetrator mined his apartment with explosive booby-traps, set a fire, then shot himself to death. Experts at the scene discovered these booby-traps which according to Die Welt were hand-grenades rigged with tripwires. Foiled plots to attack events like the world-famous German Christmas markets, often involving Islamist cells, are reported with a drumbeat frequency in German press.
