The Gaggenau city hall blocked off after the bomb threat. A small southwest German town said it had received a bomb threat on Friday, a day after blocking a rally by Turkey's justice minister to promote a referendum on expanding President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's powers. The bomb alert was lifted by mid-day after the town received the threat by phone. "We received a bomb threat by phone at around 7:30am," Dieter Spannagel, a local official from the western town of Gaggenau, told AFP. "The caller cited the cancellation of the event with the Turkish justice minister as a reason."
