Newsroom December 20 08:18

Germany’s biggest airports are on alert after four suspected terrorists were spotted staking out Stuttgart airport, reports say.

Police are said to be hunting for a son and father from North Rhine-Westphalia and two others who were seen taking photos of the airport’s terminal and grounds.

Details of the suspects were passed to German police by Morocco’s secret service, reports say.

This comes a week after a terror attack across the border in France.

Three people were killed by Cherif Chekatt near a Christmas Market in Strasbourg, which is some 150km (93 miles) from Stuttgart.
