Dozens of police surrounded the Limbecker Platz shopping mall in Essen on Saturday after receiving what they said was a credible evidence of a terror attack the day before.
Security services cited by the German tabloid newspaper "Bild" described the threat as a potential multiple suicide bombing.
As well as the mall, nearby parking garages and an underground rail station were all placed in lockdown while sniffer dogs searched the area.
"We received very serious indications from security sources that a possible attack was planned here for today and would be carried out," a spokesman for Essen police told the Reuters news agency. "That is why we were forced to take these measures."[/quote]

[quote]An [B]'Islamic State'[/B] plot?
The German Press Agency and "Bild" quoted security sources as saying the plot was believed to be the work of the self-styled [B]"Islamic State" [/B](IS) militia.
The sources said a German man who traveled to Syria to fight alongside the group was the suspected mastermind. He had reportedly been in contact with a number of people in the Essen area to organize the attack, and had also sent them bomb-making instructions via an online chat.
An interior ministry spokesman in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, where Essen is located, declined to comment on reports about "IS" involvement in the foiled plot. [/quote]
The Raqqa and Mosul campaigns cannot wrap up fast enough to destroy any credibility for these daesh rats.
