Mohammad Daleel


Mohammad Daleel (Arabic: محمد دليل), known as Abu Yusuf al-Karrar (Arabic: أبو يوسف الكرار), was a Syrian man who fought for a number of rebel groups during the Syrian Civil War, including the Islamic State. On 24 July 2016, he carried out the 2016 Ansbach bombing, killing himself and wounding fifteen people. The attack, carried out in retaliation for Germany's role in the Military intervention against ISIL, was the first suicide bombing carried out in Germany. German authorities now believe Daleel intended to remotely detonate the Ansbach bomb while filming it and to later commit further terrorist attacks.

According to Bild, he was a member of the Islamic State of Iraq many years ago. The Islamic State called Daleel a "soldier of the Caliphate".

Bild further says he told German officials that he was a Sunni Muslim and had come from Aleppo. He said he had studied law for half a year and worked at a soap factory owned by his father.“A missile had damaged our house, I was heavily injured and brought to Turkey,” he claimed in his asylum application.

He left Syria on July 16, 2013. Traffickers drove him to Bulgaria, where he filed an asylum request in September 2013.

On April 17, 2014, he said, he flew from Sofia to Vienna on Austrian Airlines, Flight OS 806, Seat 22A, with one suitcase. A "mysterious benefactor" gave him the airplane ticket at no charge. Austrian police seized him and took his documents.

On April 20, he applied for asylum in Austria but then decided to go to Munich on July 5, 2014, where he also applied for asylum in Germany. He stated to German authorities that he had been a victim of torture, a claim of which there is no record of him having previously made, and which the New York Times characterised as appearing to be "embellishments" he made.
