Germany raises terror threat to high as intel flags potential attack plans
Germany has raised its national terror threat level from abstract to high after intelligence indicated a surge in potential attack plans, warning that attacks could occur at any time. The move accompanies plans to expand the powers of intelligence agencies throughcabinet-backed reforms that could allow faster action in high-risk situations, including home searches in urgent cases while police retain arrest powers. The announcement comes ahead of a cabinet meeting to consider sweeping intelligence-law changes and follows recent deadly attacks, underscoring heightened security concerns.
