Kylie Minogue Cologne concert hit by security scare

Recommended Posts

German police armed with submachine guns were deployed to a Kylie Minogue concert in Cologne to quell a potential attack. The threat was reportedly linked to a mentally disturbed Belgian man.

 

All male visitors to a Kylie Minogue concert were frisked before entering the venue in Cologne on Tuesday, as police armed with submachine guns monitored proceedings. Authorities reinforced security due to a possible attacker from Belgium, according to the police.

"The organizers contacted us due to a possible threat scenario based on evaluating social media platforms," a police spokesman told the German news agency DPA. "When it comes to things like that, we cannot simply stand by," he added.

At the same time, authorities emphasized that the concert passed off "without any disturbance."
