“Germany: Security services warn of possible Hezbollah attacks”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Berlin, 11 August (AKI) - Militant Lebanese Shia group Hezbollah could launch damaging terrorist attacks in Germany and elsewhere in Europe, according to a report by the country’s security services.”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Around 900 Hezbollah militants have moved to Europe and have formed in ‘sleeper cells’. Such Hezbollah-linked cells could be present in Italy, France and The Netherlands as well as in Germany, said the report.”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “But Germany’s Federal Criminal Police (BKA) chief Joerg Ziercke said on Sunday that investigators had foiled seven plots, including attacks planned by three men arrested in the western Sauerland region last year who authorities believe were targeting US installations in Germany.
Ziercke made the remarks in an interview German daily newspaper Der Tagesspiegel on Sunday.
Altogether, there are currently 200 investigations linked to Islamic terrorism being conducted by the BKA, Ziercke told the Tagesspiegel, saying that the danger has therefore in no way diminished.
He said a “a single-digit number of militants” had returned”

“Missing SFO Clear Laptop Was Stolen, Not Misplaced”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “SAN FRANCISCO INT’L AIRPORT (CBS 5 / AP / BCN)
A laptop containing the personal information of 33,000 applicants to a program that allows air travelers to bypass airport security lines was likely stolen then returned, not just misplaced for more than a week, investigators said Monday.
The Transportation Security Administration announced a week ago that it had suspended new enrollments to the program, known as Clear, after the unencrypted computer went missing from a locked office at San Francisco International Airport.
The TSA also told officials at SFO and other airports that used Clear to cease use of any unencrypted computers and secure devices until encryption can be installed.
The day after TSA’s announcement, the laptop reappeared in a locked cabinet in the same office where it was last seen.”
