HANAU, Germany (AA) - Surveillance cameras revealed on Thursday that Tobias R., a far-right extremist who carried out the racist terrorist attack in Germany, scouted the cafe six days before the attack.

A photo taken from the security camera footage shows the terrorist wearing a green jacket and a gray cap as he was planning the deadly attack a few days ago on Feb. 15.

43-year-old Tobias R, who was identified by security forces as the gunman, killed at least nine people in the western town of Hanau, near Frankfurt.

Five Turkish citizens were among the victims, Turkish officials confirmed.
