The Oktoberfest grounds were reopened after police determined that the bomb threat linked to the suspect "was not confirmed," Munich police said on the X platform. City police said the blast before dawn in northern Munich at a residential building, which had been deliberately set on fire, appeared connected to a domestic dispute.
