Germany: Jewish Festival in Hamburg Cancelled Over Terrorism Fears

A Jewish festival in the German city of Hamburg has been cancelled over fears of a terror attack.

Organisers of the Grindelfest received no specific intelligence of an imminent threat but felt they had to cancel anyway after a spate of recent knife attacks in the country.

On Saturday, a failed Syrian asylum seeker attacked a street festival in the city of Solingen, killing three people and injuring eight others. He had pledged allegiance to the Islamic State terror group.
