Germany 
cancelled a football match against Holland in Hanover just 90 minutes 
before kick-off after receiving 'concrete information' about a terror 
threat.
A concert venue in the city was also evacuated amid heightened security concerns in the wake of last week's atrocities in Paris.
One report on a local newspaper website claimed an ambulance packed with explosives was found outside the HDI Arena. 
There were also reports of a known trouble-maker, who was held at gunpoint by police outside the ground. 
According to an NTV reporter on CNN, a second suspicious device was found in a train station close to the stadium. 
Announcements
 at the 45,000-capacity stadium in northern Germany advised fans to 
leave calmly and that there was no danger. Most fans were still waiting 
outside when the order to evacuate came.
