'Syrian suicide bomber pledged allegiance to IS'

German authorities said today they found a video on the mobile phone of a Syrian suicide bomber who blew himself up in Germany in which he "pledged allegiance" to IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann said the man, who has not been named, also "announced an act of revenge against Germans because they were standing in the way of Islam".
