It is relevant, they cite sources that it might have something to do with it.

Indeed house burned down and 3 cars and a threat letter but as that is/was all new I opted to only include information that is a proven fact currently.

Turns out to be nothing.

Well, unrelated to the Oktoberfest. Still, it was an incident, and that's what the news was about.
Luckily it was nothing (except for an unrelated incident) .

Yes, one of the biggest international festivals in the world, drawing 500,000 tourists PER DAY, being targeted for likely geopolitical reasons is simply local news. Definitely not of interest to people outside Munich.

We don't know anything about political motives. Threat came from a German dude on a killing spree against his family.
