German airports on alert amid spying reports at Stuttgart.
Germany’s biggest airports are on alert after four suspected terrorists were spotted staking out Stuttgart airport, reports say.
Police are said to be hunting for a son and father from North Rhine-Westphalia and two others seen taking photos of the airport’s terminal and grounds.
Details of the suspects were passed to German police by Morocco’s secret service, reports say.
This comes a week after a terror attack across the border in France.

Three people were killed by Cherif Chekatt near a Christmas Market in Strasbourg, which is some 150km (93 miles) from Stuttgart.
Police told public broadcaster ARD that security forces were on alert at German airports, while Bild website said warnings had been extended to all 14 major hubs. MORE
No worries. The cab drivers have already taken all the planning photos of any potential target in Germany, France, and Briton already.
These guys were probably tourists or real estate developers.
I flew into Germany about 15 years ago – the airport looked like a Turkish bazaar.
Pretty sure the situation hasn’t gotten any better.
If the terrorists kill anyone, there’s only a small probability of them killing Germans.
izlamo delenda est …
If their from North Rhine-Westphalia, why is Morocco telling Germany about them? Ooooooh, because they’re not really German
Well, surely no one could have expected THAT to happen!
Except, perhaps, for a former fairly highly ranked Stasi officer.

Well, the plan was for ze new sturmtroopers to blitzkrieg the REST of Greater New Germany.
Deutsche Bundesbank Über Alles!
When they’re “suspected terrorists,” it might be more useful to arrest them BEFORE the explosion, rather than afterwards… 😳
I’s jes’ sayin’… 🙄
You know I really don’t care anymore about anyone or anything in Western Europe anymore.. All they do is whine! We should pull all of our Military Forces out of Europe and let them deal with the mess they created on their own…
