German town cancels Turkish event receives bomb threat

German authorities in the southwestern town of Gaggenau evacuated the city hall on Friday after receiving a bomb threat, its mayor told German television, one day after he cancelled an event where Turkey’s justice minister was to speak.

Asked by n-tv broadcaster if the bomb threat was linked to the cancellation, mayor Michael Pfeiffer said: “We presume this at the moment, but we don’t know for sure. We presume there is a direct link.”
