    HANNOVER, Germany — Unconfirmed reports from a German newspaper say that a soccer match in Hannover was canceled because an ambulance full of explosives was found out front following a bomb threat.

    There was no immediate confirmation of that report, though the Hannover chief of police was quoted by multiple sources as saying “there was a device intended to be detonated inside the stadium.” Another stadium in the city, which was to host a pop concert, was evacuated as well.

    An announcement by police informed spectators about an hour and a half before kickoff on Tuesday that the stadium would be evacuated.



    DW Sports reported that the TUI-Arena, which was to host a pop concert, had also been evacuated.



    Members of the German government including Chancellor Angela Merkel had been scheduled to attend the match to send a signal that Germany wouldn’t bow to terrorism in the wake of the Paris attacks.

    Announcements at the stadium in northern Germany advised people to go home in a calm manner, and that there was no danger to fear. Most fans were still waiting outside when the order to evacuate came about an hour and a half before kickoff.

    There were no signs of panic, with most fans seemingly accepting the decision with resignation. Police became more forceful with members of the media who attempted to stay beside the stadium.

    Security was very tight before the game, with police armed with machine guns surrounding the stadium and maintaining a very obvious presence in the city. Reporters arriving for the game were searched, while a sniffer dog was deployed to check their bags.

    A second stadium in the northern German city was also evacuated.

    Concert-goers had been waiting for the band “Soehne Mannheims” to play.

    Kluwe told German public broadcaster NDR that the alleged threat involved the “detonation of explosives in the stadium.” He says the “key warning reached us about 15 minutes before the gates opened.”

    Germany’s national soccer squad said the team was taken to “a safe place” by police.

    Kluwe encouraged people in Hannover to go home, stay away from stadiums and not move about in large groups.

    Germany’s interior minister was holding a news conference later Tuesday on the twin evacuations.

    Don't want to spread panic, maybe?

    Maybe someone at the scene had a heart attack and they took them to the hospital in the ambulance.

    Watch out for a report on a bomb filled ambulance found as a hospital. That'll probably be it.

    Just saw that this event lead to the Paris raid.

    Apparently, they found a cell phone in the garbage that said "let's go now", which they traced to the Paris location.
