Terrorists Disguised Truck Loaded with Explosives as an Ambulance, Tried to Get into Germany Soccer Match [UPDATE]
By Jason McIntyre
Terror continues to grip Europe. Just four days after attacks killed over 100 innocent civilians in Paris, a soccer match between Germany and the Netherlands in Hanover was cancelled after police foiled a “concrete plan” to detonate a bomb in the stadium.
Fans had already entered the stadium when police discovered the plot and evacuated the venue about 90 minutes before kickoff, the Guardian reports.
Fans were taking trains away from the stadium and then police decided to stop the trains and have fans leave on foot.
BREAKING: Trains have been stopped heading away from the stadium. Pedestrians being told to move on foot. #GERNED

[UPDATE: Authorities in Germany said in a press conference there was a “concrete threat” after “an increase in tip-offs in the early evening” but no explosives have been found yet.]
