Police at the shopping centre in Essen after the terror threat. Police said on Monday they have released a second suspect detained over an alleged Isis terror plot against a major shopping mall, citing lack of evidence. Authorities had ordered the Limbecker Platz mall in the western city of Essen shut on Saturday over "specific information regarding a possible attack". Although there was no announcement of arms or explosives being found, Essen police had detained two men for questioning. One man was subsequently released late Saturday, and the second on Sunday, "as there were no grounds for arrest," said the spokesman.
