Attacks planned for US targets in Germany: ABC

Washington, May 12: US and German officials say they believed terrorists were planning an attack on US ilitary personnel or tourists in Germany, ABC News reported on its Web site today.

''The information behind the threat is very real,'' a senior US official told ABC News.

German Interior Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble told ABC: ''The danger level is high. We are part of the global threat by Islamist terrorism.'' US air marshals are providing additional protection of flights between Germany and the United States, law enforcement officials told ABCNews.com.

The report, quoting US and German law enforcement officials, said Patch Barracks, headquarters to the US military's European Command, could be a target following reports that suspected terrorists had conducted surveillance at the facility.
