Trier (Germany) : Security around a US airbase in Germany has been stepped up following an anonymous call to bomb the installation.
The police said the threat against the base, at Spangdahlem in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate, was made in a call Monday evening.
The caller said there were at least four others involved in the plot.
This led to both the German police and the US security forces stepping up measures to protect the airbase.
The German authorities are particularly sensitive at the moment to any terrorist threats following the discovery of an alleged terrorist cell planning to carry out terrorist acts in the country, including against US military installations.
