"German police overnight thwarted a terrorist plot by a radicalized couple, a plan they suspect involved bombing a bicycle race near Frankfurt, a German terrorism researcher briefed by investigators told CNN on Thursday.
German prosecutors and police said that a man and a woman had been arrested in the Frankfurt-area town of Oberursel on suspicion of planning a Boston-style attack, but the authorities did not explicitly reveal the target.
The suspected target, according to Florian Flade, the terrorism researcher, was a race planned for Friday. The race loops around Eshborn and Frankfurt on May Day each year, attracting large crowds of spectators along the cycle route."Report from VentouxCalls in Franfurt.

Apparently my comment from yesterday was eaten by your blog Bask, a foreign raider on these sacred fishing grounds. ONward! OH Shadman - ride on and write on with a firm finger in the face of those wacky religious terrorists who desire to disperse and dull the grooved elements of the roadbike life. Be careful as you ride or you are going to SUFFER! Not necessarily from a mad bomb-thrower but from a crash. Scrodicus
