The two jihadists who carried out separate attacks in southern Germany in July had repeated contact with members of the Islamic State (IS), said Der Spiegel magazine on Friday.
Riz Khan Ahmadzai, the 17-year-old Afghan who on July 18 attacked passengers on a regional train in Würzburg with an ax and a knife had allegedly told one of the contacts "I will see you in Paradise."
The German magazine, which cited unnamed police sources, added that the youth's IS contact suggested online that he use a car to crash against a crowd, which the Afghan refugee rejected because he did not possess a driver's license.
He then announced on the chat his intention of attacking passengers on a train.
He carried out his threat shortly thereafter, leaving five people seriously injured before being killed by police.
Investigators believe that the 27-year-old Syrian refugee who killed himself by detonating a bomb in his backpack in Ansbach on July 24 did so by accident.
Mohammed Daleel's apparent plan was to remotely detonate the explosive inside an open-air music festival.
He had been in contact through his cell phone with an unknown person who gave him instructions in the moments prior to the explosion.
Daleel, who did not possess a ticket for the festival, was intercepted by private security personnel while attempting to enter the premises, where he detonated the explosive, killing himself and injuring 15 others.
Reports emerged after the incident that Daleel suffered from depression and that one of his therapists had warned about his suicidal tendencies.
Both refugees had recorded videos in which they vowed "revenge" for their "Muslim brothers" killed by the US-led coalition in Syria fighting against the IS.
The videos were later posted online and disseminated by the jihadist group, which claimed responsibility for both attacks.
