The terror training exercise at Leipzig station. Hundreds of police officers, firefighters, rail workers, and rescue workers practiced their terror-fighting skills late on Tuesday night in a mock terror attack at Leipzig central station. As part of their training, the officers practiced how to respond should armed terrorists attack the station, according to the federal police. “The women and men of the federal police were confronted by a ‘horror scenario’ tonight in Leipzig train station,” said local federal police president Jörg Baumbach in a statement. MDR reported that travellers had been informed about the exercise at the station, and train travel was not impacted.
