Berlin, Apr 28: German authorities say two teenagers suspected of carrying out a bombing on a Sikh temple in the western city of Essen were sympathisers of the Islamic State group.

Three people were wounded in the blast April 16, one of them seriously. The interior ministry of North Rhine-Westphalia state told regional lawmakers today that one of the two 16-year-old suspects had been in a violence prevention programme aimed at Islamic extremists.
