A second venue in Hanover - a music arena - has now been evacuated by police. The 14,000 TUI Arena was due to host a concert by the band The Söhne Mannheims.

Hanover police now say they received a "concrete threat" about a bomb, German news agency DPA reports, citing police chief Volker Kluwe.

Gee, I wonder IF there is any much chance to wake the HELL out of Europe as to WTF has been going on over the last 5 decades???

Univ/Md. had lots of overseas operations for a long time, and so I had a roommate at the College Park campus.....he was a son of some iranian diplomat type....maybe even higher up.....I just remember his first name was Fred.....friendly enough, but that relative/diplomat type stopped over to see him and made some comment about this nation...that I took HUGE exception to and basically flipped him off, to which some classmates were shocked I had to guts to do....Fred thought it was funny I had the courage to DO that, I didn't give a shit.....so this was back in the SHA daze of iran.....never trusted Fred one damn bit......found out later on I was correct.....

Also a Syrian "refugee" who was settled in Louisiana turned up missing, but worry not, he's found. Just, you know, hanging out in Washington DC.

Bobby Jindal, was unaware his state was receiving Syrian Refugees until he watched the news and saw it on television. If Americans knew how these "refugees" and "unaccompanied minors" from various central American countries are brought in to a system funded by our tax dollars and are extremely lucrative for various fake "religious" affiliated immigrant mills set up by private companies and funded by the DHS, they would completely lose their shit. This is a $10 billion industry at least. Just in the last year.

a "concrete threat"? really? I somehow doubt these people are going to call in a threat of any sort, unless it's to provide a distraction to actions elsewhere.

bombs are dangerous and expensive.

a phone call to induce a little panic is really easy and cheap.

Doesn't take much to ground a plane or empty a school/concert hall once you set up the threat/expectation of violence in everyone's mind. One little anonymous phone call...

Ya know...these people just don't learn from history. The very LAST two nations I'd ever consider screwing with are, in order, Germany and Russia.

I think it's already too late in Germany. Their liberal policies have undone them. It won't happen to Russia.

It's funny, I'm not seeing this reported by the MSM in the US:

Putin says ISIS funded by 40 countries including G20 members.

I agree. After losing two world wars and being occupied continuously since WWII, Germany has been neutered. They would rather self destruct than allow themselves to be the nationalistic power they could be.

I'm not sure about that. German nationalism may once again rise up and negate any position held by the current government.

A "little" help from their neighbor to the East, doesn't seem too far fetched, either.
