Suspicious Object Found On Train In Germany, Deactivated

Berlin (AP) Police say experts have deactivated a suspicious object found in an out-of-service train in the German city of Cologne. A cleaner found the object in a train parked on sidings outside Cologne’s Deutz station on Friday night, police said. Specialists defused the object early Saturday, according to a police statement that did not describe the suspicious item in more detail.

Experts were examining the composition of the object, which was moved to a secure area, police said. Officers searched other trains on the same sidings Saturday. As of mid-afternoon, they hadn’t found any other suspect objects, police spokesman Thomas Held told German broadcaster n-tv.

Held said the background to the find was still unclear and police are investigating in all directions. (AP) .
