Blast at Nuremberg Nazi Rally Site Kills 1
An explosion shook a building at the former Nazi Party rally grounds in Nuremberg, Germany, and a man’s body was found in a charred vehicle inside, police said.
Police were investigating the cause of the blast at the massive stone building, which Adolf Hitler built in 1935 for weeklong Nazi rallies. The building was being used as a warehouse.
Police would not release the identity of the victim but said they did not believe the explosion was a terrorist attack.
An exhibit center on World War II and the Holocaust is to open in another section of the building next month. That section was not damaged, police said.
