German police found and defused a suspected bomb near a Christmas market in the center of Potsdam on Friday amid heightened terrorism concerns in Germany. Police ordered the evacuation of the city center after the device was found. A high-powered water jet was used to dismantle the device, which police described as a cylindrical with batteries, nails and cables, according to state police.
