Germany Closes Afghan Embassy

Germany closes Afghan embassy over threat - The Local
"It is correct that the German embassy in Kabul is currently closed," a foreign ministry spokesman told AFP, confirming a report in the Welt newspaper.
However, the spokesman would not be drawn on the newspaper report that the embassy had been closed for "several days" after warnings of an "Islamist terrorist attack" from the German secret service (BND).
"According to our information, the BND recently warned the foreign ministry of a risk of a terrorist attack by Islamists in Kabul," wrote the Welt.
The indications of a looming attack were "concrete" and "serious," added the paper."
