Germany's Rock am Ring festival resumes after terror alert


An open-air weekend Rock am Ring concert near Germany's Nuerburgring race track resumed on Saturday after being suspended on Friday due to a possible terrorist threat, the organizers and police said. The deputy police chief of nearby Koblenz, Christoph Semmelrogge, said no suspicious objects were found at the venue. Festival goers are searched by security before entering the festival in the town of Nuerberg. "In our view, that made the abstract threat far more concrete," said Koblenz police chief Wolfgang Fromm. The attack, carried out by a young Tunisian man who had been denied asylum in Germany, was claimed by ISIS.
