German police on Thursday alerted that a terror attack was being planned by Islamists for New Year’s Eve in the southern city of Munich for New Year’s day.
“Current indications show that a terror attack is being planned in Munich. Please avoid gatherings of people and the Munich and Pasing train stations,” police said in a tweet.
Both stations have been evacuated, they said, and train services were no longer running at the two sites.
The attackers have an “Islamist background”, police added.
