| Cyprus to deport Austrian with 'terror' links [Ynet] Cyprus will deport a "radicalised" Austrian man suspected of being a security risk by Interpol, authorities said on Thursday. The 28-year-old man was detained on Wednesday at a checkpoint in the capital Nicosia in an area straddling a ceasefire line dividing the Greek and Turkish Cypriot communities. The man, whom police sources said was travelling alone, was crossing from the Turkish to the Greek side when he was stopped by Greek Cypriot police for a routine passport check. Paris police on alert for refugee who may be planning attack [Ynet] Security agencies in Paris have circulated a photo of an Afghan asylum seeker on suspicion that he might be plotting an attack on the capital, a police source said on Thursday. Police did not have a name for the Afghan, the source said, and no active manhunt was underway. Metronews reported that the man had been in France for the past two months.

The email came from an encrypted email address that has been used "several times in the past" for previous threats but this time mentioned specific places and times on Thursday morning. Interior Ministry spokesman Karl-Heinz Grundboeck said that the additional security measures were "gradually" being wound down. Investigations into who sent the email were continuing. | |
