German Minister Calls for Internet Monitoring to Fight Terror
German Interior Minister Wolfgang Schäuble has called for expanded Internet monitoring and more help from the Muslim community to stop terror threats after a failed plot to bomb passenger trains.
In an interview with newsweekly Die Zeit to be published on Thursday, Schäuble said that the country needed a raft of new security measures to halt attacks.
"It would be irresponsible to conclude from the success of the police search that we do not need to do more," he said, referring to the capture on Saturday of one of two Lebanese men suspected of planting bombs on trains last month. A second suspect, also captured on security cameras while planting the bombs, has been identified but remains at large. Technical defects prevented an almost certain bloodbath.
