Anti-Terror Action Plan: Germany Heightens Security Ahead of September Election
Germany is planning to implement a massive anti-terrorism action plan ahead of September's general election to thwart any possible attacks.Intelligence agencies believe that al-Qaida is planning to hit German targets abroad and possibly at home in the run up to the Sept. 27 vote that will pave the way for the next chancellor in revenge for the Germany's military mission in Afghanistan and to put pressure on Berlin to withdraw its forces.
The German Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) and the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, the domestic intelligence agency, have devised an anti-terror plan similar to the one used during the World Cup in 2006. It envisages intensifying the country's anti-terrorism measures aimed at detecting any possible attacks as early as possible.
