A carnival parade has been called off at short notice in Braunschweig, northern Germany, due to the threat of an Islamist attack, police said.
A "specific threat of an Islamist attack" was identified by state security sources, they said in a statement.
Police urged people planning to attend to stay at home.
The parade - a well-known regional attraction - was cancelled only 90 minutes before it was due to start.
"Many people arriving at the train station were already dressed up and very disappointed - but we didn't want to take any risks," police spokesman Thomas Geese was quoted as saying.
Braunschweig's Carnival parade reportedly draws around 250,000 visitors each year. More than 4,000 participants in fancy dress march down a 6km (four-mile) route through the city.

NO Braunschweig parade FOR YOU!
another Islamic terrorist victory
Islamic fear is destroying the western culture. They win as long as this is tolerated and no one pushes back.
I gave my kids liverwurst. I told them it was Braunschweiger, “brown sausage”. “MMM, it’s good!” It wasn’t until they were adults that they realized IT WAS LIVER!
Peaceful Islam is like global warming. I keep hearing it’s all around us but the actual evidence is lacking.
Yep. That's Islam's forte - medievalism.
Is this the parade that usually includes floats lampooning political figures (like The Clintoon and a busty Lady Liberty)?
If it is that parade, one would have to wonder if one of this year’s floats had a depiction of Mohammed.
Sissies
This could be easily solved. Deport all muslims. Those that refuse to leave, shoot dead.
"Baby, I am not from Havana!"
All you have to do to stop a gathering you don’t like is threaten to blow it up?
The entire world is going dark FRiend.
The wise men all left and didn’t leave a light on.
Only if the threat includes aloha snackbar!
If this crap is going to stop then the only way to stop it is outlaw islam and send immigrant muslims back. Now the left will get all bent out of shape and say racist, bigot bla bla but at least peoples lives will be saved and no more deaths in the name of frigging lslam
Check my other post on the thread as I have just said the same. Outlaw islam and send immigrant muslims back.
Ha ha! Reminds me of my own childhood. Mom would often pack a liverwurst sandwich for my school lunch. I loved liverwurst sandwiches. Much later, when I learned liverwurst was actually made of liver I was aghast. I figured liverwurst, hotdogs; what's in a name. I still like liverwurst, BTW!
Islamic fear is destroying the western culture.

It wouldn’t happen if not for weakness. The Muzzies see softness and keep pushing.
Terrorism works for muslims:
* Parades are cancelled.
* American newspapers won’t publish cartoons of muhammad
* American Colleges cancel presentations by anyone muslims and their sycophants object to
* In Europe police won’t go into muslim neighborhoods
