TERRORIST attacks are being planned in Germany, including one this month, the country's Interior Minister, Thomas de Maiziere, has warned.
"From today, there will be a visible police presence. I thought it should be explained to citizens," said De Maiziere at a hastily called press conference in Berlin.
"There will also be a variety of measures that will not be visible. There is reason for concern, but no reason for hysteria," he added.
Evidence of a potential attack towards the end of the month came from a "foreign partner", he said.
"According to information from a foreign partner which came to us after the Yemen incident, we suspect a planned attack is due to be put into action at the end of November," De Maiziere said.
Last month, authorities discovered two US-bound parcel bombs originating from Yemen, one of which transitted through Cologne airport in western Germany.
