Police are on the lookout for two men suspected of planting a bomb in a backpack that caused an explosion at a gurdwara in Germany's western city of Essen with authorities announcing a reward of 5,000 euros for information leading to their arrests.

A 60-year-old Sikh priest was among three persons who were injured when the bomb went off in the entrance hall of the Gurdwara Nanaksar at the end of a wedding ceremony on Saturday.
