Suitcase Blaze Causes Bomb Scare In Germany.
Reports of an explosion spark an armed response as Germany remains
on edge after a suicide bombing and a mass shooting.

Armed police were deployed to a centre for migrants in a German town after
reports of an explosion. Police later said they had arrived at the scene in Zirndorf
to find a suitcase on fire at around 1.15pm UK time.

There was no indication that explosives were detonated, but it is thought at least
one aerosol spray can in the suitcase may have blown up.
On their official Twitter account, police said: "no explosion, no injuries".

'I'll Blow You Up': Police Arrest Escaped Patient.
An escaped psychiatric patient who was seen in a shopping centre yelling "I'll blow you up"
has been arrested after an hours-long manhunt.

Police said the 19-year-old Algerian had fled a psychiatric facility in Lower Saxony on Wednesday
morning. Weserpark mall in Bremen was cleared in the late afternoon after the man was allegedly
spotted acting suspiciously.

Police spokesman Nils Matthiesen said at the time: "It's possible that the missing man has hidden
something in the shopping centre. It could be a device or some other dangerous item."
The man is said to have made sympathetic comments about a gunman who killed nine people in
Munich on Friday.

He also spoke about Islamic State after he was arrested previously in connection to several thefts,
but is not known to have any ties to the group.

Gunman's friend arrested for 'planning school attack'.
A 15-year-old was arrested in Baden-Württemberg on Tuesday on suspicion of planning
to carry out an attack on his school, police announced on Wednesday evening.

The boy had reportedly been in contact with Ali David Sonboly, the teenager who shot nin
people and then himself in Munich last Friday, via an online gaming forum.

Police were alerted to the boy's plans by a private individual who had been carrying out
independent research on Sonboly, they said in a statement.

...When interrogated, the boy admitted he had at one point been planning an attack on his
school, due to suffering problems in his personal and school life, but said that he had since
rejected the idea.

The 15-year-old has been taken into a youth psychiatric facility and police have confiscated
the evidence, including electronic devices. It is thought that, like Sonboly, the boy frequently
played first-person shooter video games.
