Munich train stations re-opened and trains are running on New Year's
Day, but a terror warning about Islamic State extremists intending to
blow themselves up in the city remains in place.
Munich police tweeted on Friday that "stations are open, but the situation is still serious."
Just
shortly before the city rang in the new year, Munich police had
evacuated the main train station and a station in the Pasing
neighbourhood. Partygoers were asked to avoid crowds.
At a
late-night news conference, Bavaria's Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann
said a friendly foreign intelligence service had warned Germany of an
imminent terror attack at midnight by between five and seven suicide
bombers planning to blow themselves up at different locations in Munich
including the two train stations.
