Germany Remains on High Alert Over Suspected Bike Race Terror Plot
Police have continued to patrol the western German city of Oberursel following the cancelation of the Eschborn-Frankfurt City loop race bike race. The competition was called off over a suspected terrorist attack.
Authorities cancelled the event on Thursday after German police discovered that the race could have been the target of an Islamist terror attack. Two suspects, a 35-year-old German with a Turkish background and his 34-year-old wife, were arrested on Thursday night on suspicion of planning the attack.
A spokesman for Hesse’s State Office of Criminal Investigations said on Friday, however, that police were still securing the planned route.
