Police cancel carnival that was expected draw 250,000 to Braunschweig over 'concrete danger' of attack.
BERLIN, Germany A carnival parade in the northern German town of Braunschweig was cancelled at short notice Sunday due to a "concrete threat" of an Islamist attack, police said.
"Reliable state security sources have made it known that a concrete threat of attack with an Islamist background exists," authorities in Braunschweig said in a statement.
Police called on all visitors to refrain from visiting the planned route of the carnival parade and avoid travelling to Braunschweig.
According to a police spokesperson, the carnival parade was cancelled following a specific "threat assessment." The officials would not provide specific information about the type of threat, but said that the inner city "was searched with explosives search dogs."
Similar to many other smaller German cities, the Sunday carnival parade was due to run through the city center. In Braunschweig, approximately 200,000 to 250,000 people visit the 'Fastnacht' parade with its traditional floats every year.

This is seriously awful, if a threat or too can disrupt cultural traditions like this. Soon they will not have to kill anymore, everyone will just give up to the muslim horde.
Bring back the SS!
“the Braunschweig carnival dates back to 1293.” http://www.german-way.com/history-and-culture/holidays-and-celebrations/fasching-and-karneval/
it’d be awful if every muslim in the country were to have a coronary in their sleep
I hope the marchers push back
Only an ARMED CITIZENRY can neutralize the terrorist threat in our streets.
The war started 10 plus years ago, and it seems the West still have not figured it out.
It really is shocking. I know Europe is in more literal immediate danger, since muslims comprise a larger percentage of their population, but we had the POTUS of the US pitch a baseball shortly after 9/11, we didn’t cancel New Year’s in Times Square etc.
Ever have Braunschweiger sausage?
Nasty stuff.
I guess they will have to cancel Oktobrfest
The German gov’t will now deny the islamists have taken control of the country.
Coming soon to a country near you...of course those with just a bit of common sense would know it is already here; common sense is such a rare commodity these days.
None so blind as those who will not see!
They invited the vampires in, so why are they surprised when he sucks your blood.
Bill was there!:
The Muslims are coming! The Muslims are coming! run and hide under your bed...leave the streets for the Muslims!
Wow. Never saw anything like that before.
Interesting how it is not promoted here in the states. Interesting that there is a whole other side of Germany.
Karma. They murdered off as many of their Jews as they could some 70 years ago... this is what took their place.
Everywhere. The bearded savages are terrorizing everywhere. The public still had its head up its collective a$$ and doesn’t get it.
a Coronary is what they call it when there is a bullet hole in someone’s forehead right?
or is it when there is a large, deep cut across someone’s throat?
I really don’t know the technical medical terms.
