Germany bomber had been told to leave country twice
A spokesman for Germany’s interior ministry says the man who detonated a bomb near a music festival last night, killing himself and wounding 12 others, had received two deportation notices.
Tobias Plate says the 27-year-old Syrian man was most recently told July 13 that he would be deported to Bulgaria
Plate tells reporters that the first deportation notice was issued on December 22, 2014.
He says the man was to be deported to Bulgaria because he had submitted his first asylum request in the southeastern European country.
