Lebanese authorities warn Germany of possible terrorist attacks
Lebanese authorities warned of terrorist attacks on targets within Germany after arresting an al-Qaeda suspect in Beirut, prompting the Justice Ministry in Berlin to increase security, authorities said Saturday.
"There was a tip from Lebanon - a warning tip," said Stefanie Amft, a spokeswoman for German federal police.
Germany was alerted after Lebanese authorities arrested a suspect on Thursday who was believed to have phoned a threat to the German Embassy in Beirut earlier in the week, a senior Beirut police official said. (AP)
