A friendly match today between Germany and Netherlands was cancelled due to fears of bomb threats. However, after a detailed scan of the Stadium by German Police, no explosives were found.
Hannover police chief Volker Kluwe told German TV that, "We had concrete evidence that someone wanted to set off an explosive device in the stadium." He also goes on to say that an hour earlier there was a tip on a similar threat, but that turned out to be a false alarm and they decided to take the second tip seriously because the indication of the threat grew stronger as the game day approached.
Lower Saxony Interior Minister Boris Pistorius, speaking at a late news conference, said no explosives had been found by then, and no arrests had been made.
