Frankfurt on high alert over suspected bike race terror plot
Police have continued to patrol the western German city of Oberursel following the cancelation of the Eschborn-Frankfurt City loop bike race. The competition was called off over a suspected terrorist attack.
Authorities cancelled the event on Thursday after German police discovered that the race could have been the target of an Islamist terror attack. Two suspects, a 35-year-old German with a Turkish background and his 34-year-old wife, were arrested in the early hours of Thursday morning on suspicion of planning the attack.
A spokesman for Hesse’s State Office of Criminal Investigations said on Friday, however, that police were still securing the planned route.
“We have to know whether there are accomplices who are still operating or have already operated,” the spokesperson said.
According to reports in the German paper, “Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung,” a group of amateur cyclists still intended to ride the route.
