Police in the German city of Essen have ordered a shopping centre to remain closed on Saturday after a tip from security services of ‘concrete indications about a possible attack’.
It was reported by German newspaper Bild that multiple suicide bombers were plotting to attack the Limbecker Platz centre with explosives.
This afternoon police said they had searched an apartment in the nearby town of Oberhausen and the owner was being questioned. Police later said they had detained another man in an internet cafe in the same town.
However, in a later statement police said the pair ‘are not suspects’ in the case.
