Thank God they caught it! What disgusting people.

This one may well be a real find rather than a case of over-precaution. I'm reading that they canceled all outgoing trains and buses from the stadium, telling fans to leave on foot. They also removed the catering staff, ordering them to leave coats and personal belongings behind.

You've been duped.

Nothing about an ambulance with a bomb in it.

Just a threat about a terrorist attack.

www.rt.com...

Just more sensationalism it seems.

Twitter be damned!

I will apologize if proven wrong.

ETA:

I'm not dismissing the importance of the threat of attack, it's just OP Twitter source claimed ambulance-bomb was found. After some research all I found so far is a suspicious person being reported and the alleged threats of an attack.

Could be some kids having some fun...

The threat should be taken seriously though.

Is this news on TV? Doesn't seem to hit the online news yet. At work so can't view a tellie.

I hope people in Hanover won´t go to the pubs either. If this was planned as Paris terrorist act, there is no one safe in public places.

Syrian refugee?

Whatever you do, don't blame Islam. That would be "stupid".

That is scary indeed. I hope all my friends stay safe in Germany and the rest of the world.

Have they mentioned any other nearby areas to be careful of in the news there? (My work won't let me access German news sites). I'm fluent so it makes it annoying I can't read up on the local media during my breaks...

A truck with explosives has been found or it looks confirmed.

www.kreiszeitung.de...

In German but that is the gist of it. Apparently the truck was disguised as an ambulance.

Apparently a suitcase was found. A concert venue has also been evacuated. It doesn't look good.

Isis making major serious enemy .... world wide soccer fans .. will be very poor pr failure in winning over new recruits

It's good to hear that they caught it before anything terrible happened.

a reply to: SonOfThor

Yes they also evacuated a music venue.

Apparently there was original intelligence about an attempt to use a bomb inside the stadium, in Hanover.

a reply to: dollukka

I'm reading from some eyewitness sources that it was a bag inside the stadium with an explosive device inside, not an ambulance.

a reply to: dollukka

Honestly I'm actually worried for our friends across the pond in England where I think the next attack is going to happen.
Something about about a bot' foretelling the paris attack who's ip address is in the state of kent and only months before the police seize the largest weapons and ammo stockpile only 40 minute drive away from the bot ip location foretelling the attack in Paris.

These people who got caught had ak-47 paratrooper style, metro police uniforms, flash bombs, smoke bombs. And apparently they got all these weapons from a van coming from France!


here are the links www.abovetopsecret.com... on the weapons seized in kent.
