German police said on Sunday they had ended a major operation launched after they received information about a possible threat of an attack in the south-western town of Offenburg Saturday night. Officers stepped up security in the town centre and on public transport and police said one possible target was a night club which was not named. Investigations were continuing but no further details on the nature of the threat were available. A spokesman in Offenburg, in the state of Baden-Wuerttemberg and close to the French border, did not give any further details. On Saturday, police in the city of Essen closed a shopping mall after security services warned of a possible attack.
