Reuters - Police in the
western German city of Essen have ordered a shopping center in the
center of town to remain closed on Saturday due to "concrete indications
about a possible attack".
"The
current state of our investigations points to the threat being
exclusively at the shopping center," said the police in a statement,
adding it could give no further details about the nature of the threat.
Germany
is on high alert following major radical Islamist attacks in France and
Belgium and after a failed asylum seeker from Tunisia drove a truck
into a Christmas market in December, killing 12 people.
