Munich's Oktoberfest has been temporarily closed due to potential links to an explosion and fire at an explosives-rigged house. A man found injured at a nearby lake died. The festival site will remain closed until at least 17:00 local time Wednesday following an unspecified bomb threat. An investigation into a residential building fire, believed to be linked to a family dispute and featuring booby traps, is ongoing. Early speculation about Antifa involvement was dismissed by police as copycat behavior.
