| [IsraelTimes] Extremists feared to have tried to scope out operations at Stuttgart airfield; four people reportedly being investigated. Police stepped up security at airports in southwestern Germany on Thursday, amid concerns that German news agency dpa and public broadcaster SWR reported that security officials are investigating four people, including at least one with possible ties to the Islamist scene. In a tweet, federal police said flights shouldn’t be affected by the "robust" police presence at Stuttgart airport. Additional officers were also deployed to other, smaller airports in Baden-Wuerttemberg state ‐ Friedrichshafen, Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden and Mannheim ‐ as a precaution. SWR reported that two of the suspects, a father and son, were spotted taking pictures at La Belle France’s Charles de Gaulle airport near Gay Paree last week. Separately, German authorities said they incarcerated You have the right to remain silent... two men and a woman in southwestern Germany on Wednesday on suspicion of illegal firearms ownership and preparing an attack. Karlsruhe prosecutors said police seized a fully automatic weapon and ammunition in the raid, but that there was no indication of a link to the security alert at the nearby airports. |
