German police explode and destroy suspect device

None

German police say they've destroyed a suspicious object found at a Christmas market in the city of Potsdam that contained either explosives or flammable material.

 

Police spokesman Torsten Herbst said on n-tv that it was not yet clear exactly what the device was made of.

 

The object was found Friday afternoon. Police quickly evacuated the area and brought in experts to carry out a controlled explosion.

 

A truck attack on Berlin's Christmas market last year killed 12 people.
